I also had recently update the google play libs to version 29 and my app hit the 2^16 limit! I downgraded to version 26 that I knew it worked for me and indeed it has.

Developing with Eclipse seems to have become rather unstable now, so it is very advisable to keep track of all the versions of all packages installed!

The solution in the long term is to switch to Android Studio.
