I'm getting the following exception every now and again using BaseGameUtils GameHelper class from Google Play Games Services.

FATAL EXCEPTION: main
java.lang.IllegalStateException:     GameHelper: operation attempted at incorrect state. Operation: connectCurrentClient. State: DISCONNECTED. Expected state: CONNECTING.

Has anyone seen this, or know how to get around it or solve it? It could be a bug.

Make sure you have this two metadata entries in your manifest:

<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.games.APP_ID"
    android:value="@string/app_id" />
<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.appstate.APP_ID"
    android:value="@string/app_id" />

I had only the first one and I was getting a similar error. Hope it helps.
