I would guess that your device doesn't have a current version of Google Play services. You can see the version by going to Settings > Apps > All > Google Play services. The version should be 7.8.95 or greater.

[imflash217]

I'm also having the same issues. My device has the latest Google Play services installed, but still the app crashes.

[pm0733464]

Please give the Google Play services version and the crash output that you are getting.

[imflash217]

Google Play Services Version : 8.3.0

When you say "Google Play Services Version : 8.3.0", is this the version that have on your device or the version that you are compiling your app with? Those can be two different versions. Please report both.

The device version can be found by navigating like this on your device:

Settings > Apps > All > Google Play services

The compile version can be found in your build file, for example:

https://github.com/googlesamples/android-vision/blob/master/visionSamples/FaceTracker/app/build.gradle#L25

[imflash217]

Configured the Google Play Services Version on both : device/emulator & App and its working now.
Thanks.

Met the same problem, is there a document for fix of this problem?
