This app won't run unless you update Google Play services error

Question

I\'m kind of lost right now. I\'m implementing an Android application using Google maps.

In order to make it work I followed some tutorials which were pretty efficie

Answer 1

I had a problem getting this error and hitting the 'Update' button did nothing, it was stuck on a loop, what worked is the following (in Android Studio):

• Go to Tools > Android > SDK Manager
• Check the 'Show Package Details' option
• Under the Android version you want (7.1.1 for me right now), check Google Play Intel x86 Atom System Image
• Hit Apply/OK and let the image install
• Now go to Tools > Android > AVD Manager
• Create Virtual Device
• Select one of the devices with a Google Play logo:
• Run your app in the new emulator. You can now hit 'Update' when you get the error, update Google Play Services via the Play Store on your device, and test your app in peace.
