62+ <h2>How It Works</h2>
5563
64+ <h4 id="client-lib">The Google Play services client library</h4>
65+ <p>
66+ The client library contains the interfaces to the individual Google
67+ services and allows you to obtain authorization from users to authenticate
68+ to these services with their credentials. It also contains APIs that allow
69+ you to resolve any issues at runtime, such as a missing, disabled, or out-of-date
70+ Google Play services APK. The client library has a light footprint if you use
71+ <a href="/tools/help/proguard.html">ProGuard</a> as part of your build process, so it won't have
72+ an adverse impact on your app's file size.
73+ </p>
74+ <p>
75+ If you want to access added features or products, you can upgrade to a new version of the
76+ client library as they are released. However, upgrading is not
77+ necessary if you don't care about new features or bug fixes.
78+ We anticipate more Google services to be continuously added, so be on the lookout for
79+ these updates.

85+ <div class="layout-content-col span-6">
86+ <h4 id="apk">The Google Play services APK</h4>
87+ <p>
88+ The Google Play services APK contains the individual Google services and runs
89+ as a background service in the Android OS. You interact with the background service
90+ through the client library and the service carries out the actions on your behalf.
91+ An easy-to-use authentication flow is also
92+ provided to gain access to the each Google service, which provides consistency for both
93+ you and your users.
94+ </p>
95+ <p>
96+ The Google Play services APK is delivered through the Google Play Store, so
97+ updates to the services are not dependent on carrier or OEM system image updates. In general, devices
98+ running Android 2.2 (Froyo) or later and have the Google Play Store app installed receive updates within a
99+ few days. This allows you to use the newest APIs in Google Play services and reach most of the
100+ devices in the Android ecosystem (devices older than Android 2.2 or devices without the Google
101+ Play Store app are not supported).
