isOperational() returns false after a reboot

[asclepix]

I'm testing an app using play-services-vision for face recognition and text recognition on different devices.

On a Huawei tablet running Android 7.0, the app was running fine, but after an automatic upgrade (to version 12.6.73 (040406-194189626) of the Play Services, isOperational() starts to return false (both FaceDetector and TextRecognizer methods). I've seen the same update on other devices, but without issues.

I go to Settings > Apps > Google Play Services and then Clear All Data. After that the app restarts and works well.

Then I reboot the device and isOperational() is returning false again! I've repeated this sequence many times, always with the same results: Clear All Data, Google Play Services ok; reboot device, Google Play Services failing.

Of course, I'm having the same issues with the Ocr Detector Sample app.

How can I explain this to the end user?!?!

Huawei , Samsung... android 7.1, same problem after updating Google Play Services. Same cure - reinstall GPS.

I've disinstalled GPS, but a lot of other apps (such as Google Maps) sips working. Then, an automatic reinstall of GPS returned the device to the previous situation.

Looks like similar to #352 . Does it affect Huawei devices only? I cannot reproduce on a pixel phone.

I have the issue only on this Huawei device, while no problem with Samsung devices or Pixel 2 or Nexus.

I have the P20 pro, and same thing occurs. Seems to be Huawei related.... Same app on HTC M10 works just fine. If someone has a work around, I'd really appreciate.

I have exacly same issue on Huawei FIG-LX1 with Android 8.0.

After each reboot I need to clear GPS data and run app that uses Vision and then wait for some time until library is loaded.
