“App won't run unless you update Google Play services” with Google Maps API android studio

Question

I'm trying to make google maps application in android. I've installed Google Play Services in SDK manager. When I'm running that app there's error text in emulator:

App won't run unless you update Google Play services

build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "ge.currencyexchange"
        minSdkVersion 9
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0'
}

I've tried change compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0' to compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:5.0.+' but after debug it throws an error about theme and in AVD everything is same

What can I do?

The message means, the Google play services installed in the emulator are too old. Try to use a newer image for the emulator. — Henry

use compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.8.0' instead of compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0'.

Finally

    dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.8.0'
}
