title: Android Emulator stuck on "Google Play Services are Updating"
body: <p>I recently began learning how to create Google Maps activities in Android app development, and have stumbled onto an issue with Google Play Services.  Whenever I set my gradle build dependency to <code>compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.0.4'</code>, which is the most recent version of <code>play-services-maps</code>, the emulator screen gets stuck on the following view upon running my maps app:</p>

  <p>I have allowed the app to sit there for over an hour, and nothing has changed or updated.  As I've read in other StackOverflow questions, I can get the app to properly function by setting my gradle build dependency to an older version, such as <code>compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.0.0'</code>, but this limits my ability to use newer Android features and APIs in my apps, such as FusedLocationProviderClient.</p>
  
  <p>I am running on Nougat 7.1.1, and have installed the following SDKs in an attempt to solve this Google Play Updating issue:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Android SDK Build-Tools</li>
  <li>Android SDK Tools</li>
  <li>Google Play APK Expansion Library</li>
  <li>Google Play services</li>
  <li>Support Repository > Google Repository</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I haven't found any StackOverflow threads specific to this "Google Play services are updating" message.  What can I do to resolve this issue?</p>
