i was out for android development for almost over a year, i have a few questions before i begin development again.

1. Which Play Service to use, since not all are compatible with all androids. last one i used was 29 ?

2. what should be target sdk in manifest?

older version of B4A used this
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="5" android:targetSdkVersion="14"/>

new version is using this
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="5" android:targetSdkVersion="19"/>

3. which android image should i download and use for compiling apps? since the beginning i am using Android v4.0 ICS (API 14)

Not sure about that, but I always install the latest.

2. what should be target sdk in manifest?

older version of B4A used this
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="5" android:targetSdkVersion="14"/>

I would target newer versions, this is what I have:
B4X:
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="16" android:targetSdkVersion="22"/>

3. which android image should i download and use for compiling apps? since the beginning i am using Android v4.0 ICS (API 14)
