<p>Google Play services 5.0  is currently being rolled out to the world.

We usually wait to release the Google Play services SDK until the rollout completes.

This ensures that your newly-updated apps can run on the most devices as possible.</p>



<p>However, if you want to develop for Android Wear now, complete the following steps to get

special access to all the things you need to start developing, without waiting for the rollout to

complete.</p>



<p class="warning"><b>Warning</b>: Do not publish any apps that are built with Google Play services

SDK 5.0 until the rollout is completed over the coming days.  Your apps will break on most user

devices, which will degrade your apps’ user experience. We’ll publish an update to the

<a href="http://android-developers.blogspot.com/">Android Developer blog</a> when the rollout is done.

</p>



<h2 style="margin-bottom: 0px;">1. Get Whitelisted for the Preview</h2><hr>



<p>If you attended Google I/O, your registered Google account is automatically whitelisted for

click following link to  and get whitelisted.</p>



<a style="font-size:24px" href="https://groups.google.com/group/io14androidweardev/subscribe" target="_blank">

Join the Preview Group</a>



<h2 style="margin-bottom: 0px;">2. Download Required Apps</h2><hr>

<p>You'll need the following apps to get the most out of Android Wear. You must be whitelisted

in the Preview Group above and you must install these apps in this exact order:</p>



<ol>

<li><a href="https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.google.android.gms">Google Play services</a>:

Allows your Android Wear device to communicate with your handheld device. This is required to

use the Android Wear app and other apps listed below.</li>

  Search</a>: Enables searches from Android Wear</li>

  <li><a href="https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.google.android.wearable.app">Android Wear

  Companion</a>: The app for pairing a handheld to a wearable and providing syncing of

  notifications and data

  </li>

  <p class="note"><b>Note:</b> After becoming a tester, it can take up to 1 hour to get access to

  the preview versions of these apps.</p>

 </ol>



<p>To obtain these apps from Google Play, click each app link above and follow these instructions,

preferably from your mobile browser:</p>

<h2 style="margin-bottom: 0px;">4. Start Building</h2><hr>



<p>The Google Play services SDK is required if you want to sync and send data between wearable

  <li>Click <b>New</b>, enter

  <code>https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/repository/addon-play-services-5.xml</code> into the
