When uploading my new build to Samsung store got the warning that I have to exclude China because the app uses GMS,

What is GMS?

Possibly this:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_Messaging_Service

Though I’m not sure what would qualify for that.

I believe it has to do with Google Play Services as Google Play is heavily restricted in China.

The “gms” warning most likely stems from the “com.google.android.gms.version” string found in the Android manifest when including features from Google Play Services (like Admob, Game Services etc).
