AVD Error - Update Google Play Services

0
votes

I'm trying to incorporate GCM into my Android app

I've got compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0' in my app level build.gradle

I've got classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:1.5.0' in my project level build.gradle

My AVD is API23, Target Google APIs. My Project Structure's Compile SDK version is Google APIS API 23.

From within the AVD i can see the installed Google Play services is v 8.1.85. So I thought this might be the problem

However I can't install a new apk via 'adb install *.apk' as I'm informed INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE

I have Google Play Services, rev 28 installed in my SDK settings

I'm a beginner on Android so I'm presuming I've overlooked something fundamental!

Have you tried uninstalling before installing your new version? adb uninstall com.your.app.package – Bob Snyder

Unless Google won't update the virtual devices with the new Google Play Services you have to use Genymotion with Google apps.
