Android Question Google maps/Google play completely broken

[junglejet]

It seems an update to Google Play Services has broken the functionality of my app.

I have installed Google Play Services version 18 now. Don't know the version before. My app is compiled with API 8.

I have tried to compile with API12 and Google Play services for Froyo version 12 installed. Same thing.

App was perfectly working before the update.

I am puzzled.

Installing file.

Just in case.... here is my manifest file

'This code will be applied to the manifest file during compilation.
'You do not need to modify it in most cases.
'See this link for for more information: http://www.b4x.com/forum/showthread.php?p=78136

Thanks for quick fix.

I agree, this is a must have, but too easy to forget.
