I can confirm that reverting to an older version (6.7.76) worked for me.
Things to be aware of when you do this
The last two items are a potential security hole. You are trusting that the package you received is what it purported to be an nothing else/more.
* You probably want to make sure you get the correct older version. The current version should be listed as 7.0.86 (1763202-xxx) in app settings and you should match the xxx in the older version. (I made sure to)
* You may have to disable Device Administrator status for Google Play Services (in app settings) before you can uninstall. This can be accessed by trying to disable the app. (I had to)
* You may be able to google for an older version (I did)
* You may have to enable Unknown Sources for app installation. (I had to)
* Disable automatic updates until this is fixed or you get to repeat the process.
