Google Drive API Not Available

Question

All of the sudden without any changes trying to save a file to Google Drive using

 Drive.DriveApi.getAppFolder(mGoogleApiClient)
                .createFile(mGoogleApiClient, changeSet, result.getDriveContents())
                .setResultCallback(fileCallback);

Shows a warning dialog that says "app requires one or more Google Play services that are not currently available..."

I didn't change any code so can anyone give me a clue as to what is wrong? Thank you

I also get the log

Bad call: specified package com.google.android.gms under uid 10349 but it is really 10016

Also I am implementing this library

implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-drive:17.0.0"

Answer 1

Google Drive SDK is deprecated. In order to use the Google Drive SDK you need to use drive REST APIs.

From the documentation:

This API is deprecated. Clients must migrate to the Drive REST API or another suitable solution to avoid disruptions to your application.
