title: Android: Google signin for a user without Google Play Services?
body: <p>Is there a way of implementing Google signin that does not require Google Play Services? I'm aware that the official docs says that you need GPS:</p>
  
  <p>• <a href="https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/android/start-integrating" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/android/start-integrating</a></p>
  
  <p>however I also found conflicting information here:</p>
  
  <p>• <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29288794/google-plus-login-without-google-play-services">Google Plus Login without Google Play Services</a></p>
  
  <p>that says that using Google+ Api you can implement the login without the user having GPS. Which is true? Can you technically implement login without GPS or not? If you can it would be nice to use as a fallback for users who can't download GPS for whatever reason.</p>
