    Here's an update from the coding cave:

    I'm currently working on the patches for Google Play Services 10.0., Google Play Games 3.9 and a new release of Google+ Whitelist. The most important change will be that we will no longer need a custom API Key for apps that display content based on Google Maps. A new method of signature spoofing makes this possible. To make this work, the apps must be patched with Play Services Patcher and the option "Decompile Resources = OFF". This is required to preserve the original API Key in Android Manifest.

    Google+ Login, Google Maps API (and all other Google API calls going thru Google Play Services), including In-App Billing, should work for all apps that are listed in the Google+ Whitelist app. This is a big thing!!

    The basic coding is almost completed and I'm currently implementing the error handling routines. I'm targeting this weekend for the launch.

    This is a huge update indeed!

    The only other reason to set decompile to on (other than maps currently) is to patch for the minimum api requirement. Any thoughts on this one?

    And yes, please donate folks!

    You can still use the resources decompile option, but then must untick the Maps V2 API Key injection.

    So it's one or the other. OK. Thanks!

    No, you can have it all.

    Example 1:
    Your app is a standard app (for SDK 18), needs Maps API V2 and Play Services patch.

    Patching instruction for Example 1:
    1. Do NOT tick "Decompile Resources"
    2. Analyze Package
    3. Select Play Services Patch
    4. Start patching.

    Result: All features will work

    Example 2:
    Your app requires SDK >18, Maps API V2 and Play Services patch.

    Patching instruction for Example 2:
    1. TICK "Decompile Resources"
    2. Analyze Package
    3. Select Play Services patch, select min SDK patch
    4. UNTICK Maps V2 patch (because we want to use the existing API Key in Manifest)
    5. Start patching.

    Result: All features will work

    To other readers: This is for the upcoming version. It does not apply for the current solution.

    You can't patch Uber at the moment. It will not recompile - which is needed to get maps working.

    This may change when Cobalt releases his updates this weekend, as there is no longer any reason to decompile.

    Not liking anything Google, making the move to Android is going to hurt. Colbalt - can you get the Here Mapping app to work with your magic? Would cause me to make major contribution to you.

    It's not a matter of Google Play Services - it's simply an incompatibility.

    Sometimes. But they usually require the rest of the stack.

    I've got a new to me Q10, first Blackberry, and tend to be a bit conservative.
    SQN100-5 on T-Mobile
    SR 10.3.2.2530
    OS 10.3.2.2813
    RV 10.3.2.2814

    I tried Cobalt232's Google Play Store for BlackBerry 10 briefly, encountered problems, and uninstalled.

    Reading the recent developments, here, I'm warming up to the idea of patching, even. I wonder if I should start out giving Google Play Store for BlackBerry 10 another try; looks simple, I've got a little free time. Or, would it be better to wait for Cobalt's official Google Apps new version to come out?

    Thanks.

    UPDATES AVAILABLE!

    As announced this week, the new versions of the Google stack are now available:
    • Google Play Services 10.0.84
    • Google Play Games 3.9.08
    • Google+ Whitelist 1.0.0.6

    The downloads are available from the regular MEGA link (in the first post).

    Changelog
    * Implemented new signature spoofing method
    * In-App Billing and logging in using the Google Account with patched apps now works again correctly.

    Known issues:
    * "Set up nearby device" option in Play Services doesn't work and crashes the app.

    This release brings a fundamental change in the way how signatures are spoofed. For that reason there are some important changes that you need to understand.

    1. You do no longer need a personal Google Maps API key to display maps in apps. The app manufacturers keys will now work. The app still must be patched for Google Play Services signature check!

    2. When patching apps with Play Services Patcher, do NOT select the patch "Google Maps Android API" or "Google Maps Geo API"

    3. You need to update ALL of your custom added signatures in the Google+ whitelist app.

    The Google+ Whitelist app has a new option to remove custom signatures. Just long press an item to remove the signature. This does not work for the hardcoded apps (you will see a dialog that tells you exactly that).

    You can roll back to previous versions by removing BlackBerry Google ID, Google+ Whitelist and Google Play Services 10.0.x and then installing the old files again. But there shouldn't be any reason to roll back anyway.

    Drop your feedback here and don't forget to donate for my efforts ;-)

    Enjoy!
