getOpenSourceSoftwareLicenseInfo is returning null now

Question

A trivial but annoying issue has come up in the last few days. Previously my menu option which popped up a dialog to show the legal text for using Google Services was very full

Answer 1

according to https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=9813

It appears that google changed the file name it was looking for from oss_notice to third_party_licenses. They basically broke getting the license info for any play services implementation below 9.0.0.

you will need to update the version to 9.0.0 to get the license info back for device with later versions of play services.

EDIT (June 6, 2016): Google is looking into the issue now.
