Google Play connection issue / package name vs. client id etc.

Hi @all,

I finally thought I could build an Android release version of my app and push it into the store, but ...



I can't find a working solution. The log says:

This probably happened because you included it as a stand-alone JAR. BaseGameUtils should be compiled as a LIBRARY PROJECT, so that it can access its resources. Using a fallback string.

Is there something wrong with the Google Play Plugin docs (http://giderosmobile.com/labs/google-play-services)? There isn't said anything about GameHelperUtils being a project.


Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

Google Play services will give that error if you run the app through the Gideros Player (even if the player is built with the same package name). The way to test is to make a full build of the game and install that. I would be very pleased to be proven wrong, by that's the behaviour I see.

The error occurred with the finished built release version. Cause seemed to be: I didn't take care from on the first second, that the SHA1 string matched. And changing / correcting it later didn't work. I had to set a completely new Google Games Service game and link it with the app. Pain in the ass. I've read a shitload of tips and documentation the last two days. But setting up Google Game Service from scratch was the only thing that helped.

(Don't get me wrong: I like Google Play a lot - especially the interface and possibilities. But this ^^ annoyed me a lot. Nevertheless I've learned a lot.)
