I've been using google's fused location services on my app for location tracking. I use Android studio and it's gradle build system. Recently I have discovered a big issue with google's location services.
My gradle build file contained this dependency: compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+. So when I rebuilt my project, Android studio downloaded the latest version for google play services, namely 5.2.08. HOWEVER my device (Samsung Galaxy S4) only has the 5.0.89 version. And apparently these two versions are not compatible, I get this error : Google Play services out of date. Requires 5208000 but found 5089038. I cannot update google play services on my device. It states that it is up to date (5.0.89).
Using this solution I managed to get the tracking system working, but it won't work on another device I own (a W8L device), which has another version of google play services: 5.0.84.
It seems this is not an uncommon thing to happen with google. How can I fix this for any devices out there, and make sure that google doesn't mess up my app.

To fix “This app is no longer compatible with your device”, you need to clear the cache and data for Google Play Store, Google Play Services, and Download Manager. What is this? You can also try updating your Android version, downloading an older version of the app/game, or contacting the app's developer.
go to setting > apps, or app Manager > scroll down and search "find google Play Store" click on this > show you - clear data/clear chache: click on both and after that try install the app. If Kevin solutions not working, it could also happen because your device is not compatible with the application to be downloaded.
To fix the “your device is not compatible with this version” error message, try clearing the Google Play Store cache, and then data. Next, restart the Google Play Store and try installing the app again.
Go To Settings> Security > Device Administators> Disable Android Device manager. Now Go to Apps and Disable Google Play Services and Clear Its data, Clear Data of Play Store too. Reboot device andd Enable Google Play Services.
Same thing is happening here, i solved by changing the play services version at gradle:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:5.0.89'
They probably released a new version but the roll out haven't arrived in our devices yet.
