Using com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:8.1.0 causes issues with proguard and other things

[DazzyG]

Version 8.1 causes a compile time warning

Warning: com.google.android.gms.internal.zzhu: can't find referenced class android.security.NetworkSecurityPolicy

as well as a crash on start

java.lang.IllegalStateException: You need to use a Theme.AppCompat theme (or descendant) with this activity

It also significantly increases method count as referenced here: https://plus.google.com/+GoogleDevelopers/posts/HsSNWEQ6H4e

This issue is fixed in version 8.3+ but it's advisable to use the latest version (8.4 at time of writing) As all com.google.android.gms libraries need to use the same version any dependencies within qwasi apply to the client app

Good catch this is being fixed as we speak, 8.4.0 is the target, and is what the current maven repo of 2.1.18 uses, 2.1.18-1 uses 8.1, sorry for the inconvience will be releasing more unifited nameing structure soon, as well as snapshot maven repos.
