Google App and Google Play Services force close - SecurityException My friend's Samsung Galaxy S phone (with CM11) has been recently having an issue, where Google Play Services has been randomly crashing with this message in the logcat:

java.lang.SecurityException: attempting to read gservices without permission: Neither user 10103 or current process has com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES.


The same thing happens to the Google App upon trying to perform a search in it.
Make sure that the GApps flashed onto the phone after flashing the ROM is indeed supported on that ROM.
