Android: ADB update Google Play Services 'Failure'

Question

Trying to follow this Google+ Login tutorial.

Start application and I get this error

You need to update Google Play Services to use this application

Pressing Update does not do anything.
Ignoring this dialog and pressing Login crashes the application.

Using the terminal in Windows 8 to update the Play Services on my emulator,

adb install com.android.vending-20140218.apk ........
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION perm=com.google.android.gms.permission.ACTIVITY_RECOGNITION pkg=com.google.android.gms]

adb install com.google.android.gms-20140218.apk .......
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION perm=com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE pkg=com.android.vending]

I tried uninstalling both using adb uninstall and adb install -r but it just responds with

Failure

Emulator

Nexus 5 with Android 5.0
targetSdk Android 5.0
minSdk Android 5.0
Buildtools 19.1.0.

I get the same thing. These error messages are sooooo helpful. Any luck solving this? — Matthew Reilly, Oct 17 '14 at 23:07
Yes the thing i did to solve it was to ignore it. I stopped using an emulator to get it to work :( But feel free to tell me if you get a solid solution. — Jonas Borggren, Oct 20 '14 at 12:09

I had the same issue: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION ...

un-installing the app from the device and re-installing the app solved it.

What did you uninstall? The Google Play Services application or your application? – Jonas Borggren Jul 29 '14 at 17:39
my application. and then re-installed it. try updating the Google Play Services through the android SDK manager as well. – Opster Elasticsearch Expert Jul 29 '14 at 20:53

This problem occurs when you change the Android version off your device.

Try to uninstall the application directly in the device and re-install it.

Normaly the problem are solved.

The problem is solved in this thread: INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION... C2D_MESSAGE

The error is actually due to a duplicate app with the same permission but a different signature. I blogged about a work around here.

I experienced the same on Nexus 7 with Android 5.0. Please make sure "Unknown sources" is enabled. I.e. you can install apps from sources other than Google Play.
