Always make sure you are using the latest library versions.

AFAIK, there are existing issues based from this GitHub post and also filed in issue tracker. See if your encountered issue is related to any of these and follow the given workaround (if there is).

On a side note, since SecurityException crash is usually due to reading gservices without permission. You may want to also try requesting permissions at Run Time.

If you haven't done so, note that on all versions of Android, your app needs to declare two categories of system permissions, normal and dangerous permissions, in its app manifest. Check declaring permissions for more information.
