As I see on release notes, usually it says:

Firebase Android SDK v.x is part of the Google Play Services v.x release.

So let's say I use Firebase SDK 9.8.0 in my project for ads and push notifications. What happens on a device that does not have the latest Google Play Services updated?

    in my experience, my app showing prompt dialog to download latest google play services. – firmanslash Oct 27 '16 at 13:59
  • and the ads/push notifications etc. do not work until the user updates? So for instance it could use the app without seeing ads? – Alin Oct 27 '16 at 14:15
  • i don't know about ads & push notification, but in my case i'm just using firebaseauth. if user didn't update play services to latest version then firebaseauth won't work. i think you should try it with emulator using non-google api images. – firmanslash Oct 27 '16 at 14:20

If the device is using an older version of the Google Play Services, the user will get a dialog prompting to update it to the latest version. Some services like the Firebase Authentication might not work if the user doesn't update.
