NoSuchFieldError: No static field MapAttrs of type when Using MapFragment with Play Services 6.5

Question

Maybe I am missing something here, but I am not able to use the new Maps only dependency in Play Services 6.5

I get the following exception:

java.la

Interim solution

replace the xml map fragment with a FrameLayout container

Create the fragment in code and replace the container

SupportMapFragment supportMapFragment = SupportMapFragment.newInstance();
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.map_container,supportMapFragment).commit();

//this you should do anyway
supportMapFragment.getMapAsync(new OnMapReadyCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
        //setup map - optional
        UiSettings settings = googleMap.getUiSettings();
        settings.setCompassEnabled(false);
        settings.setZoomControlsEnabled(false);
        settings.setAllGesturesEnabled(true);
        settings.setMyLocationButtonEnabled(true);
    }
});

Please note that the above was done in 'onCreate' in an activity without any other fragments, so make sure you adapt the transaction to your lifecycle and logic.
