Using newer versions of Google Play Services in ODK Collect

Development
#1

Hi all,

I'm implementing Google Cloud Messaging to ODK Collect and am struggling
with the Google Play Services versions. Some packages used by ODK Collect
exist only in older versions of Google Play Services and thus the version
distributed with ODK needs to be used. However, I'd like to use libraries
introduced in newer versions of Google Play Services. The Android Manifest
of the Collect appe specifically determine the version of play services to
be 7571000 and meddling with it causes library clashes. I would greatly
appreciate if someone has managed to integrate functionalities from newer
Google Play Services releases and would share their approach.

Best regards,
-Jyri

Hi Jyri,

The correct approach here is probably to upgrade to the newest Play
libraries, update Collect accordingly, and submit a pull request for trunk.
