java.lang.IllegalArgumentException after update to com.google.android.gms:play-services-games:17.0.0

In our game implemented online multiplayer using Google Play Game services. After updating com.google.android.gms:play-services-games to version 17.0.0, the console often began to receive a new error:

We had to go back to version 16.0.0

I do confirm an issue in 17.0.0. Please fix ASAP:

After updating com.google.android.gms:play-services-games to version 18.0.0 the error continues to come to the Google Play console. We use Achievements, Leaderboards, Saved Games and Real-time Multiplayer. Any ideas on that?
