On my Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4, Google Play Store seems to crash when updating apps, usually when I select a bunch of them (3 or more) to update and watch the "queue" as it progresses through them.
It's a strange crash, no error message, just the Play Store closes and goes back to launcher. If it was in the middle of an app update during the "crash", that app update will complete succesfully. Any further app updates in the queue do not get processed.
Anyone else get this?
I recently sideloaded 4.6.1 for Fire Phone and got the necessary files for Snapchat, yet when I try to sign it, it does not sign in. It does not even load, the circle spins for infinity.
On the previous public OS, I had snapchat, but kept getting the Google Play services has stopped message, which is why I updated my phone. The message no longer appears, but I can't sign into Snapchat.
I updated my phone as of yesterday. Help??
Is there a reason you want the play store version as opposed to the amazon app store version? Some apps that are offered on both seem to misbehave unless you choose the amazon one.

Since I have noticed the same, that some apps that are offered on both stores seems to misbehave unless you choose the amazon one, I think that is preferable to install the APPs from the Amazon APP Store...
However, I also have noticed that almost all the APPs updates first on the Google-Play-Store!
The app should update via the store it was downloaded from, amazon updates are specific for the amazon environment.

Snapchat is not available on the Amazon App Store.
Can anyone offer some advice??
I don't mean to be rude or anything, but can someone please respond? Is anyone else having this issue?
Sorry for triple post, but I noticed the update on the play store makes the play store have a white screen? I kind of doubt it's connected to the snapchat issue
There's a bunch of threads about this issue already. There is a problem with the Google Play Service. Snapchat uses the Google Play Service so that's why it stopped working.
You can get Snapchat to temporary work by doing something like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60266619&postcount=21
But it won't stay working forever since your Google Play Service will keep trying to update to the bugged one.
But I won't be able to even sign in because of the message "You need Google Play Services" will pop but, not allowing me to close it. Also, note that I am on 4.6.1, while that is a fix for 3.6.8
Has this been confirmed by anyone who's tried to use Snapchat?

Yes. I also have the same problem. I am also on 4.6.1.
I will say it again. There is a bug with Google Play Service right now. There's a bunch of threads about this right now. Snapchat only works if you are able to get an old version of Google Play Service with an old version of Google Play Store on your phone. There is some tricks to get your Google Play Service to not update which is mentioned in the other threads. If you have a white screen or the "You need Google Play Services" notice popping up, that means you have the latest version of Google Play Service which has the bug. It will not work on your phone until Google fixes this problem.
My apologies I could have sworn I saw that on there

Got SnapChat working on 4.6.1 OS
Okay, I have no clue why what I did made everything work, but it did. I got SnapChat, YouTube, Hangouts, everything working on 4.6.1. I'll explain everything I did since I have no clue what exactly made it work, but I'll explain everything up to when it started to work.
1. First you'll need to download an app in the appstore called "Advanced Permissions Manager".
2. You wanna download the usual Account Manager > then Google Play Services 7.0.99 > then Google Services Framework > then Google Play Store 5.4.12.
3. As soon as you sign into Google Play Store, you wanna go into settings and turn off "App Installation" so the Google Services doesn't update.
4. Go on the app you downloaded in step one called "Advanced Permissions Manager", then go to All Apps > SnapChat > then uncheck "find accounts on the device" (located under "Your accounts").
5. Push Save & Re-Install. (May need to hit uninstall and install again on the window that might pop up, if nothing pops up then ignore these parenthesis.)
6. Hold the power button for about 5 seconds and hit restart.
7. Once you load back up and try SnapChat, it shouldn't ask you to update Google Services and will let you sign in as usual.
***I seen that doing this broke Google Play Store, but that's the only thing different I've noticed. You can always download 1mobile and get the apps you need afterwards off of there I'd assume.

I did everything you said, now when I go to log into Snapchat, it closes itself... better than infinite loading I suppose.
Updated to Marshmallow, Tuesday with no problems. On Wednesday updated a bunch of apps including the Google app. decided to try the Google now launcher, so I uninstalled Nova launcher. downloaded Google now launcher. Now my Google app is gone from my phone. when I go to the play store I get the message that this version is not compatible with my phone!!! Any ideas or help???
+1 My Verizon G4 Marshmallow update was extremely problematic. A bunch of apps, mostly Google, but others disappeared from my phone leaving the orphan icons in the App drawer and Google Now (and On Tap) doesn't work. Try installing the Google Now Launcher to to see what happens, GNL says I need a newer version of the Google Search App and the Play Store says it's incompatible with my device. Can anyone shed some light on this issue?
Similar issue here also, my apps disappeared from the play store, Google was one in particular. However, since then, about 30 minutes ago I was flooded with app updates, Google being one of them.
I have this problem with my Android Wear sometimes. On a fresh G4 firmware, Android wear barks it needs Play Services or something updated, but the app says Up to Date, eventually it starts updating and starts working. Perhaps it is doing stuff in the background, similar to how Play Store gets updated behind the scenes. Once a few Google Apps get updated, the rest filter through like normal.
I am hesitant to take the MM upgrade because of lack of root. I am not currently rooted, but the thought of never having the option again makes me think twice.
Its started working after a battery pull..
Anyone else getting this in Google play? I've cleared everything readded my Google account still can't figure it out. Running 8.1 fully stock
Same here... so freaking annoying. Pixel 2 XL running 8.1 stock.
Edit:
I was able to fix this by Uninstalling Updates for Google Play. Go to Settings > Apps and notifications > Google Play Store > '...' menu > Uninstall Updates
Hope that works for you, too!
Yes, but the updates are installed immediately and the problem comes back. I even wiped the phone by installing the latest images - the problem is still there.
It's very strange indeed - it happens with some searches and not others e.g. when I type 'tower defense' the error occurs but when typing 'tower defense games' and a little icon appears in front of the suggestion the error does not occur. Can anyone replicate the error?
Same thing happening here when updating Google Play Store from 7.0.17 to 8.5.39. Uninstall Google Play Store updates, then turn off auto updating.
To turn updates on or off, follow these steps:
Open Google Play Store.
Tap the hamburger icon (three horizontal lines) on the top-left.
Tap Settings.
Tap Auto-update apps.
To disable automatic app updates, select Do not auto-update apps.
After the new software update RMX1991_11_C.15 on my Chinese realme x2 Google play frequently crashes leaving apps unupdated... anyone else facing this problem and how do I fix it...any help would be appreciated
Also happened to me before, you only have to update google play store not through the app itself but download it from trusted 3rd party sites, just search on google. Note: when you check the app itself it'll say its up to date but it's not. Hope it works for you too.
Thanks it worked
Also happed with me just clear play store data from setting and then try its worked for me
