Yet I don’t want to sneak around general priorities… in terms of that the Play-Service stuff (it being missing) is only affecting a very small subset of your users.

Rafael - when I install the mobile app on Epson Moverio (which is not supported by Google Play) I got a massege that the app needs Google Play services. What are those services? Can I switch them off? In configuration or by developing SDK?
