I am trying to set up App Invites beta library in my application.

The guide suggests to add this dependency:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0’

with 8.4 being the latest version, but actually I want to stick with v. 7.8 (or so) for a while, because in my experience lots of devices are still below, and if they install my app they’ll be asked to update their play services. Nothing wrong, but I just want to stick with that version for a while.

I couldn’t find any info about that on the official docs.

  • It seems Google is suggesting to use the latest Play Service version based on the [Add App Invites to Your App](https://developers.google.com/app-invites/android/guides/app) page of the App Invites for Android documentation/ – adjuremods Feb 02 '16 at 01:47
  • Well, they suggest latest version everywhere. Still, for a production app it might make sense to stick with an older version for a while, just not to break code and bother users. Don't know, I'm also facing compile issues right now and can't focus on this question. – natario Feb 02 '16 at 09:44
  • I had to remove the *com.google.gms.google-services* plugin or it wouldn't compile with 8.4.0 – Maragues Feb 02 '16 at 12:43

AppInvites was first released in Play Services 8.1. It received a fairly significant update in 8.4, but before that it didn't change much from what I can tell.
