google maps V2 IllegalStateException

Question

I have this very weird bug that my app crashes in the minute I launch it. the call stack is:

01-25 15:10:52.264: E/AndroidRuntime(13707): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.out.goout/com.out.goout.Splash}: java.lang.IllegalStateException:The meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not have the right value. Expected 4030500 but found 4132500. 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" />

the thing is that I do have the tag that explained in the stack trace and the version of my google play services is 14

the code in my manifest is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.my package"
    android:versionCode="1"

Remove this line from manifest:

<uses-library
            android:name="com.google.android.maps"
            android:required="true" />

still the same error? SHA1 key is tightly coupled with your package name. While generating SHA1 key have you given the same package name? – Zohra Khan Jan 25 '14 at 15:58
yes. as I commented the bug started since I updated the the google play services from13 to 14 – Shalom Melamed Jan 25 '14 at 16:01
Which IDE are you using Android Studio or eclipse? – Zohra Khan Jan 25 '14 at 16:08
I am using eclipse IDE – Shalom Melamed Jan 25 '14 at 16:10
In eclipse, remove your old library and try to re- add google play services library – Zohra Khan Jan 25 '14 at 16:13
