My Moto G4 is running stock Nougat with the latest (Sept) security update. For some reason, the Google and Chrome apps will not update. They show up in the play store as having updates available (Chrome is version 55.xx) but as soon as I select update, it starts and immediately stops the download. I have tried clearing the play store cache and data but that did not fix the problem. Is there something else I should try? Can I download the latest .apk and install that or will that mess something up? I will add that both apps seem to be working fine.
Update: I downloaded the .apk files and installed them and everything seems to be working fine. Thread can be considered closed and moderator is free to delete it.

Since stock firmware has old collection of google apps, and updating means it doesn't over write the system apps, it justs creates another copy- would it be possible to wipe the collection of stock google apps, then flash over a new updated collection of google apps? I have
gapps-gb-20110828-signed, but with 2011 date that seems pretty old. Isn't there a 2012/2013 build?
Also my phone has LK1 firmware, would this be useful to you guys?

simply update the app you want to, and then integrate the update into rom with the help of link2sd or titanium backup

cheers will give updating system app a go. It's worked for play store, but for maps and youtube when I action, integate... it says system full. Even though I still have 70MB free.
I guess uninstall updates, delete maps & youtube manually in es file explorer and re-download again? It was only play store that is handy having it integrated, since that is an essential app to download other google apps.
got it working. rebooted, then let kies update firmware, rebooted again, then integrated maps and yotube
seems to work, however since doing linksd update system app, google service has stopped responding. No way of having a clean ROM with very latest google play store? The one I've seen has a older build, and other google apps. So it'll update it anyway.
one work around is moving play services and play store to user app. Delete any play services/play store in system. Now it won't create another copy, it'll use the user one. Of course if you do a reset it'll lose those files, but since it's easy to restore or recovery not a big deal (and saving 20 MB)
I've removed all the applications that I can think of that I installed via Google Play store, including Google Play Services and the store itself, and the cveXXX apk, etc. I copied over the BIN file for the newer update and I'm getting a "last update failed" when I check for updates. Any ideas what I need to do to get this to update?
Thanks.
Nevermind, I found that I hadn't actually fully de-rooted it, and by renaming the DeviceSetup.apk.old to DeviceSetup.apk it is now working fine.
Hi,
I'm on XtreStoLite 2.4 5.1.1 on my S6 edge for months now. All was working perfectly. Recently, GPS started crashing randomly, but except for the error, services and sync seemed to be working fine. Now ytdy armageddon started and now Google apps connected to GPS (search, keep, music, but not play store for example) will not run and get killed instantly.
What I did based on what ive found:
- deactivated play services, uninstalled updates and restored the account, GPS 9.0.83 (240-121911109)
- wiped cache/dalvik which helped for couple of minutes
appreciate any help!
I've had problems too with the latest play services on LG G4 H815 6.0 v20d. Google Play Services crashes non boot and Google Chrome crash after a few seconds of opening.
Uninstalling updates fixed it but I'm told by many apps that I need the latest version. I didn't wipe cache though.

True, stopped the apps from crashing, but made them unusable, even Inbox which worked just fined on the corrupted (?) version.

Got a fix. Google apps working. No force closes/errors. Root needed to prevent auto-update to latest version.
i) Get to the May 7th (or earlier) Play Services from here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/
Look at the notes at the top to see which version you need arm or 64 ect.
In you're case, it's '240' so arm64 + arm android 5.0+ version. Direct download for you link: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...s-9-0-81-240-121617224-android-apk-download//ii) Enable airplane mode to prevent updates
iii) Then just install the apk on top of your rolled back version. Apks only install if version is newer.
iv) Using a root-enabled file manager like ES File Explorer, open \data\app and create two new, empty folders titled com.google.android.gms-1.apk and com.google.android.gms-2.apk. This tricks Google into causing auto updating of your GPS to fail.
v) Reboot (important)
Optional) Set Google Play Services as a device administrator again under security settings for Device Manager features.
If you get an error during install, then follow this guide to install: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/delete-disable-downgrade-prevent-update-t3091832

Edit: yep. Same here. When I turn internet back on, it updates to latest version. Try installing an older version.
I'll try and find another way to stop auto updates.
Same problem here, uninstalled services by titanium then installed back by apk and flashed open gapps, worked for me
None of those worked for me. Well, I used the opportunity to update XtreStoLite to MM, and problem disappeared, obviously
However, come to think of it, it could have sth to do with Amplify killing processes. Thing is, I didn't manipulate with anything there recently, but after activating xposed module on updated ROM i saw some crashes again. Anyway, I disabled it in any case now, want to see how the battery will last on the updated ROM, but it could be connected

Were you by any chance changing your phones emojis? I was and rebooted and noticed the GPS crash. Undoing emoji changes didn't fit it.

Nope, never!
Got an iDeaUSA CT740K tablet with missing Google play services. I wasnt even able to sing into any google account because of the missing google play services. However, I found an APK version of the services for the tab and installed it. It fixed the problem, well, for a while. Whenever i install the apk it fixes the problem and i am able to download stuff from google play, however, google play services remove from itself after about 10-20min and i cant download anything from google play again. I tried to move the apk into root/system/apps but it didnt help (the device is rooted). I wanted to flash gapps but i dont have a custom recovery (cant do it with the stock one, as it seems) to do it so, because there isnt any available yet. Also, there isnt a stock firmware available so cant re-flash it over the current one. I tried factory reset and erased internal memory but didnt help. I even removed rood (unrooted the device), same.
There are 3 games from fox which appear on the tab even after being uninstalled. I assume that the tablet cough some viruses and they are the reason for this happening.
If someone has a solution, feel free to share it
Thanks!
Last night I tried to open Google play to download an app and I got this error message "Google Play Store has stopped" I've tried every single solution I could find listed on the internet and I can't fix this issue.
I've cleared cache/data, made sure downloads app was enabled, reset app settings, disabled the play store, installed an earlier version using an apk, I even booted into safe mode and still I can't get Google Play Store to work.
I'm using an S9 G960F with Android version 8.0.0 Samsung Experience version 9.0, 1 June 2018 Security Patch Level
Play Store version is 11.1.30-all
Edit: Just realised that the Google App doesn't work either; when I open it it gives me the error: Google has stopped.
You did not say if Google would give option to log in? Sometimes if you disable Google acct & log back in that gets you back in?

Oh I forgot to mention I was running nano initiationally, so I installed pico & I think that helped too?

If you have any experience in flashing in twrp and stuff...
Then if you are rooted then uninstall all gapps in your rom by searching google in titanium backup....
Then downloads gapps for your android version and flash in recovery....
Not sure but hope this will work
Thanks to everyone that replied. Sorry for the lack of updates, I've just been busy with work and stuff. Anyway, it turns out the issue was caused by Swift Installer a theme app. I updated the theme overlay and it fixed the issues.
