I am getting an error that
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not have the right value. Expected 6111000 but found 0. You must have the following declaration within the <application> element: <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
Please Help.
Thanks in advance.
Add this to your manifest's application tags:
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
Next time read the error log more closely. It said everything that you had to do in human language.
Edit:
Use this manifest file:
