  I get app not configured properly errors on some chinese devices with rubbish location services. It might be down to this:
  
  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18848978/the-google-play-services-resources-were-not-configured
  
  Maybe if that error is reported then a connection could be retried with location set to false?

  Re last comment, my mistake - hadn't entered them in as test accounts on google play services.

  About Kindle. Amazon didn't pass my game to Kindle because of:
  "Observation:- Purchase Options available for 3rd parties per selected category/Listed Item :
  Steps to recreate error
  1. Install and launch the app
  2. Message pop's up "Get Google Play Services""
  
  Is multiplayer supported currently? How to pass data? I saw methods for inviting and same things in reference, but nothing about real game.

  @unlying yes the message could be due to Admob or any other Google Play related services, see my rant about it here:
  http://www.giderosmobile.com/forum/discussion/comment/33372#Comment_33372
  
  And no, no multiplier is supported, I begun implementing it and was not able to make it work and till now even Google support could not help me with that

  Does anybody has error "App is misconfigured"?
  And in logcat this:"The Google Play services resources were not found. Check your project configuration to ensure that the resources are included."
  
  Meanwhile Ads from play services libs works ok. Googling doesn't bring me what to do, but it looks like many people has this problem.

  Yes, that's what I had. You may have uploaded it as alpha and have a test google plus group - but for play services you also have to add them to a list email addresses in the play services section of the dev center.

  @SinisterSoft, thanks. For me it looks that i was to hurry to test and publish. Today everything works ok without any messages and errors. Looks like a lag from google console.

  How to get all(or some) players names from leaderboard? And how to get players icons from services? And how to check if user still connected to google play services or not?

  Getting player icons would be good.

  btw, looks like they have updated again - you now get 256k per slot.
  
  Four slots, each with 256 kilobytes of storage (total storage size of 1024 kilobytes), no impact on the user's Google Drive quota

  There is also now a rest interface - so maybe an emulator compatible version of the plugin is possible?

  As soon as the gaming lib get data saving/loading then this lib can be discontinued.

  Updated GooglePlay services lib fixing GameHelper crashes
  http://giderosmobile.com/labs/google-play-services
  
  (Gaming interface already uses new GameHelper so everyone using it should be fine )

  Hello @ar2rsawseen
  I am trying to integrate Google Play Services, but I find that GameClient is deprecated:
  
  Important: The Play Games services APIs have been revised to support the simplified Google API client programming model for Google Play services. The previous Games client is deprecated as of February 7th, 2014. Existing and new developers are strongly encouraged to use GoogleApiClient instead of the deprecated GamesClient.
  
  Any plugin update on the road map?
  
  Thanks,
  Àlex

  You should use the new gaming lib instead - this lab lib is now redundant imho.

  I thought the gaming lib used the new system?

  Yes sorry, it seems there was another changes in the latest version, but for some reason my eclipse did not show any errors, until I actually opened the file
  I've now pushed updated versions both to github and labs

  yes I've noticed that GameHelper lib fixed the bug but then removed the fix, so taking latest GameHelper lib I've also removed the fix
  But now they issued the fix to be readded back:
  https://github.com/playgameservices/android-samples/pull/62
  
  I've just added the fix manually and uploaded it to the labs and github
