Google Play
services 8.1 brings the new Android 6.0 Marshmallow permissions model, which
Google first announced at Google I/O earlier this year. It’s important for Android developers to implement this new
permissions model into their apps to ensure users are getting enough control
over which permissions are granted to their mobile devices.
Play Services 8.1 Features :
App
Invites :
This new feature allows
you to implement a way for existing Android and iOS users to invite their
Google contacts via email or SMS to try your app. Play services 8.1 gives you
the ability to customize the email invitation, including adding a custom image,
and even specifying a call-to-action button text.
Ambient
Mode Maps :
Play
services 8.1 brings ambient mode support to the Google Maps Android API. This
means a simplified low-color rendering of the map will be seen in Google Maps,
which reduces power consumption by lighting fewer pixels. To learn more about

Nearby lets you build simple interactions between nearby devices. This new

accurately reflect whether or not Nearby is active.
