Adding Google In-App Billing causes app to not find Google Play Services

Question

My app uses Google Cloud Messaging and using the implementation code on the Android website, it checks if the Google Play Services APK is installed or not:

// Check for Google Play Services APK. If success, proceed with GCM registration.
public void registerGcm() {
    if (checkPlayServices()) {
        mGcm = GoogleCloudMessaging.getInstance(mContext);
        mGcmRegId = getRegistrationId(mContext);

        if (mGcmRegId.isEmpty()) { new RegisterGCMTask().execute(); }
    }
    else {
        Toast.makeText(mContext, "Google Play Services APK not found\n"
                + "Please download Google Play Services", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        mActivity.finish();
    }
}

Everything was working fine and checkPlayServices() returned true before. But once I implemented v3 Google In-App Billing as the instructions here , it stopped working and checkPlayServices() started returning false.

Why is this happening? And has anyone else experienced similar problems? This error occurred after I upgrade Google Play Services.

I also getting this note in my Logcat as well:

08-19 13:12:39.730: W/GooglePlayServicesUtil(11708): Google Play services out of date.  Requires 5089000 but found 5084036
