java - Downgrading 9.0.83 Google Play Services manually to avoid DynamiteModule: Failed to load module descriptor

Question

I got the following log error in my route tracking activity:

06-24 18:50:24.488 7128-7759/com.noureddine_ouertani.www.wocelli50 E/DynamiteModule: Failed to load module descriptor class: Didn't find class "com.google.android.gms.dynamite.descriptors.com.google.android.gms.googlecertificates.ModuleDescriptor" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/com.noureddine_ouertani.www.wocelli50-2/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/vendor/lib64, /system/lib64]]

After reading some posts and answers (e.g. this or this) about this log error I figured out that it's a known Google Play Services version 9.0.83 issue that causes bugs in some apps that use a GoogleApiClient like mine.

However I didn't test the solution yet. I wanted to downgrade Google Play Services on my Smartphone but Uninstall Updates was greyed out (see Screenshot).

Does anyone know how to do this manually?

Answer 1

By checking the internet for your problem about how to downgrade Google Play Service when the Uninstall Updates was grayed out. I came up with many possible solution. You can check it all and try if this method helps you.

• From this Stack Exchnge question, you can try the solution here that states:

If you have the Android Device manager app installed then this can also make the force stop/uninstall updates buttons be disabled.

If you uninstall the Android Device manager app and disable "Android Device Manager" as a device administrator then those options should be enabled.

• From this forum, the solution here needs you to download and install System App Remover from the Google Play Store. Just check the forum link to know more about the steps and their information.

• And lastly, you can also check the solution in the discusion of this forum page.
