    Google Play on Android

    Hi,

    Starting with the good news; I've successfully been able to build an app using the Ads interface on Android. Since I installed Google Play services for it to function, I assumed I would be able to get the Google Play authentication for free. However, when I try:
    require "googleplay"
    The app crashes almost immediately. I say almost, because until I press the "OK" button for the "Unfortunately, app name has stopped" I can still trace/print things.

    As per usual I have been a good boy and followed these instructions to install Google Play services:
    http://giderosmobile.com/labs/google-play-services

    And these instructions to install Ads interface:
    http://docs.giderosmobile.com/interface/ads

    Is there a way to debug this crash, or maybe pointers as to what's going on?

    Cheers,

    Niclas

      Hi @Totebo

      You could connect your android device and open Eclipse with ADT installed. Then you could see realtime catlog of your device.

      As for Google Play service, i think it would be wise to also read this official docs http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/index.html
      have fun with our games~

      Hey @nascode, thanks for the response. Last night I did just that and posted part of the log here http://giderosmobile.com/forum/discussion/comment/37135#Comment_37135.

      It seems to have something to do with GameHelper.java. A bit rusty since studying Java some 14 years ago!

      As for the Google docs, I've been reading and re-reading them a few times, and as far as I can tell I have done everything they mention.

      Just to close this thread, the solution to the problem turned out to be an issue with a Google Play update which has now been fixed.
