Android Question Play Services dependency...

[vfafou]

Hello!
I'm using Google Maps library and almost every time I update the Android SDK, I have problems with devices with no upgraded Google Play Services...
I don't want to force my users do the update of play services, so I'm searching for a way to do the play services update automatically, or a way to get rid of play services dependency!
Is there any suggestion?

Thank you in advance!

Using a newer version of Google Play Services during compilation doesn't mean that users must update the device Google Play Services as well.

You can check whether the services are available with FirebaseAnalytics.IsGooglePlayServicesAvailable. If it is not available then open this url with an intent:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

You cannot use Google Maps without Google Play Services.
