<h1>Android Game services installation instructions</h1>

<h4>1) Prerequesites</h4>
<ul>
<li>Install Google Play Services: http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html<li>
<li>Set up Google Play Services for your app: https://developers.google.com/games/services/android/quickstart</li>
</ul>
<p>Things to note:
<ul>
<li>You appID, which you will be using (don't mix with ClientID, you don't need it for Androids)</li>
<li>When entering the SHA1 fingerprint for your app authorization, don't use the default one, you need to either:
<ul>
<li>Genereate your own for production key from your production certificate, but it means you will only be able to use it after you export and sign app, you won't be able to debug with it</li>
<li>Use android debug key, which you can get in Eclipse, by choosing Window->Preferences->Android->Build, then you will be able to debug your app with Google Play Service</li>
<ul></li>
<li>Changing fingerprint from debug to production is a pain, better set up two diferent apps to do that.</li>
<li>Add email of your google account used on phone for Test users, so you qill be able to test Google Services without publishing the app.</li>
