Android 4.0 Issue with google plus login

Question

I have google plus login working fine on devices > 4.1 but some devices cause a crash on 4.0 My best guess is that there is a issue(or it is outdated) with google play services installed on the device.

This is the error I get:

Going through your stack traces I noticed

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.google.android.gms.R$drawable

That leads me to assume that you added the jar for the Play Services SDK but didn't add the Android library project and that is why it could not be found. It may also be possibility that you may be using an outdated version of the Play Service SDK.
