Answer 1

Your device must have google play service. You can use the following code to check the device if it has google play service.

private fun isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(): Boolean {
    val availability = GoogleApiAvailability.getInstance()
    val resultCode = availability.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this)
    if (resultCode != ConnectionResult.SUCCESS) {
        availability.getErrorDialog(this, resultCode, 0)?.show()
        return false
    }
    return true
}
