Google Play Services resources not found.

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to write a module for Android. It's about a customized Location Client for my app. I tested the code previously on a simple native Android app and it works. I moved the code to a KrollModule and there isn't compilation errors and seems it's going to work too but I can't try it.

To write this module, it's required to include into the project Google Play Services library (Done!). This is necessary in order to use LocationServices and GoogleApiClient (LocationClient class is missing and deprecated and it's not included on the latest version of the lib).

The problem appears when I put the module into a Titanium app and I try to run it. The library demands to put meta-data on the AndroidManifest but I think Titanium has a problem to link with the lib:

<android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <manifest>
            ...
            <application>
                ...
                <meta-data 
                    android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" 
                    android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
            </application>
 
        </manifest>
    </android>

I could build both the module and the app without errors, but the app doesn't run. Here is the console log:

The Log shows the following error: GooglePlayServicesUtil: The Google Play services resources were not found. Check your project configuration to ensure that the resources are included.

And I can't understand why Titanium finds the library at the moment of the building but not when the app is running. I read in some post at StackOverFlow forums that the problem may be the app cannot read the resources folder because is not included on the .jar. I try to put the library folder as a dependency but still not working

Things already tested (and doesn't work):

• Change @integer/google_play_services_version by the hardcoded and correct value.
• Add the library to the project as ".jar" (Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries -> Add JAR / Add External JAR)
• Add the library to the project as "other project" (Properties -> Java Build Path -> Projects)
• Add the meta-data tag on tiApp.xml or tiModule.xml
• Use a custom AndroidManifest.xml based on the version generated by the Titanium.

Someone have an idea what is happening? It's a bug? It's a fail of mine? I'm breaking the head with this problem! It could be reproduced in any module that needs the Google Play Services lib.
