3DR Services on Android needs update but it is already up to date

Question

I'm using the first app set up from http://android.dronekit.io/first_app.html with Android Studio. When I load it onto my Samsung Galaxy S4 it gives me a pop up saying "Update 3DR Services! | Your version of 3DR Services must be updated to continue." I've tried uninstalling and re installing from Google Play. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

You can fix that issue by specifying the version for the dronekit-android library dependency in the build.gradle file as such:

compile 'com.o3dr.android:dronekit-android:2.3.11' 

The default dependency statement, compile 'com.o3dr.android:dronekit-android:2.3.+', retrieves the latest version of the dronekit-android library. That version is usually in beta, and can only be used against the beta version of the 3DR Services app.

You can find out which dronekit-android library version is the latest, and which version of 3DR Services it requires from the github release page.
