This app won’t run unless you update Google Play Services. (via Bazaar)

I am trying to show up a map as in Google Maps Android API v2. https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/.

When I run the application it shows the message "This app will not run unless you update google play services" in emulator.

I also looked into Google Maps V3 as in https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/ and it says it can be used in mobile app as well.

Can someone help me resolve problem in v2 and suggest if using v3 can be simpler?

My understanding is that Google Play Services can't be installed on an emulator and that consequently the Maps API v2 can't be tested on an emulator. This seems to be confirmed by Google people in the following Google+ post

Google plus discussion

This is disappointing news for me.

  • @Gili - Perhaps you had better tell CommonsWare that he's got it wrong too, see answer to : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13788795/whats-the-difference-between-real-device-and-simulator-emulator – NickT Dec 09 '12 at 16:40
  • @NickT, I don't understand your last comment. How is this link related to my last comment? Did you link to the wrong question by mistake? – Gili Dec 09 '12 at 22:38
  • @Gili - The last bullet point of Commonsware's answer also says that the v2 maps run on the emulator. – NickT Dec 09 '12 at 23:02
  • Done. I posted a comment under Commonsware's answer. – Gili Dec 10 '12 at 01:53
  • I feel really sorry to those contractors that work in companies that forbid the use of USB devices on their computers, especially ones working in companies that refuse to give contractors Android test devices – Joe Plante Dec 10 '12 at 16:24
  • What company makes Android software without allowing USB devices as a policy? – ingh.am Jan 02 '13 at 16:06
