Google said it is delivering Play Services 6.1 to most Android devices running 2.3 Gingerbread and up.
This update targets three aspects of Play Services: analytics, Google Drive, and Google Fit. Developers will be able to use the Enhanced Ecommerce tools in Google Tag Manager to assess the success of their apps and ad campaigns. Google enhanced the Google Drive Android API with a new Completion Events feature. This lets developers see when their apps are talking to the server.
The Drive API has also been updated with Material Design in the UI, and adds support for Recent and Starred views. Last, the Google Fit Developer Preview has been refreshed so developers can test their fitness apps on any Android device.
Google expects to complete rolling out Play Services 6.1 over the coming days, at which point it will make the updated SDK available to developers.
