Google Play Services is not available

[matthewbennett]

Everything works fine on IOS. On Android I get this error no matter what I do. I have tried using version 10 for gms and I have tried using '+'. Not sure if I'm missing something?

its not a device/emulator issue.

Are you using a device or emulator? Might not have Google Play Services installed on your emulator

Consider getting on the latest beta release, Google Play Services is no longer an issue, see #198
