Answer 1

@Javier Did you see the post on "android developers blog" ? They updated google play service app last week. So, Version code is suitable for lib now. It works well. We can use the latest version of "google-play-service-lib" now. I tested it and it works! See this http://android-developers.blogspot.kr/2014/01/google-play-services-41.html

Answer 2

if you use google play service revision 13 then must put this meta tag:

<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

The Google Maps getting started guide says:

Add the Google Play services version to your app's manifest

Edit your application's AndroidManifest.xml file, and add the following declaration within the element. This embeds the version of Google Play services that the app was compiled with.

<meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
        android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
