New devices are supported by Google Play Services "from the factory." Devices based on Android 2.2 (Froyo) or higher, with access to the Google Play Store will receive updates over the next few days. This will allow you to use the latest APIs on the vast majority of devices in the Android ecosystem. Android devices below version 2.2 or not connected to the Google Play Store are not supported.
The Google Play services platform contains most of the logic of interaction with Google products. Access to the use of the capabilities of the platform is provided through a simple authentication procedure, which is simple for both the developer and the user. For the developer, the procedure is to call a couple of methods in the client library, and the rest of the work will be performed by the components of Google Play services. For an application user, the authentication procedure is a few clicks.
Google Play services 1.0 includes the following components and APIs:
