I have an android app in which I am using Google Maps API for Android v2. It was working fine in my phone until I upgraded my phone to Marshmallow. After updating my phone once I uninstalled it and again installed it using Android Studio it started having random crash. And every time the error was

Looks like updated Google Play services might be causing problem. Help would be appreciated.

This logcat warning is caused by a bug introduced in Google Play Services 9.x. It can be safely ignored, I don't believe it causes a crash, so your crash may be caused by a different issue. The message should go away with a future update to play services.

This issue has been acknowledged by an engineer at Google in the answer to this post.
