title: GoogleService failed to initialize
body: <p>I am using google Maps in my android application. I have created the key and added necessary permissions in manifest file. But soon I start the application I get this message in debugger:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>GoogleService failed to initialize, status: 10, Missing an expected
    resource: 'R.string.google_app_id' for initializing Google services. 
    Possible causes are missing google-services.json or
    com.google.gms.google-services gradle plugin.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I am not sure whats wrong. The Map is working fine and I can use it without any issues. My gradle file has this entry:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>What is it complaining about and how do I alleviate it?</p>
