Google Play Services 6.5.+ APIs white screen

Question

My application runs successfully when using:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.1.11'

But when I switch to using:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.+'

The application immediately displays a white screen and then an ANR.

This is gradle console log after a clean and build:

Configuration on demand is an incubating feature.

I'm getting the same thing, guess I'm sticking to 6.1 for a while — Adel Nizamuddin, Jan 22 '15 at 10:13

By any chance do you use Google Analytics? I recently found https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82157 which seems to be the same issue as me. If this is the case you could try Google Analytics blocks Android App

In 6.5 you don't need to import every submodules of the play services anymore Check this link ;)

Hope this helps!

I would suppose one of the class/method has changed since the time you implemented it. Maybe try a full clean/rebuild and post your logcat – Tr4X Jan 08 '15 at 13:10
