From what i see, the error message even tells you that the `android:value` needs to be different — SomeJavaGuy, Jul 23 '15 at 06:40
Add this in your Manifest Enter your Google value/key and then try — Ajinkya S, Jul 23 '15 at 06:49

Which part of

A required meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not exist. 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" />

you don't understand? You have only declared the API key, you should add the Play Services version as well.
