AllCast with Chromecast support needs Google Play Services v4.2.34. I used Google Search but I not found it.
If you mean the source code for GPS, then Ali's answer is the best one. If you just want the binary libraries that are rolling out now, then here's the download link to the APK: http://www.mediafire.com/download/5cozzv82il95ppr/com.google.android.gms-4.2.39+%28997510-038%29.apk
The APK is signed by Google and will update the current version you have.

I would like to know if there is an emulator for local development and if there is documentation about it.
I know Firebase has one but I don't know if it's exactly the same.
As of now, there's no emulator feature for Google Cloud Identity Platform (GCIP) yet. As reference, this is also mentioned on a Google Groups thread. Currently there is no ETA when this feature would be available in the future. These are the current beta emulators that are available .
What I could suggest is file a feature request through this link to report issues and feature request.
I want to share my crashlytics crash report to some 3rd parties.
How can I get a publicly accessible url like below?
http://crashes.to/s/419b5b28766
I am bit new here, is it a old deprecated crashlytics feature?
I don't seem to find in my fabric crashlytics dashboard.
Zubair - from Fabric/Firebase. Great question. We deprecated that share link feature, so those won’t be accessible anymore. The decision to drop support for it was based on customer feedback, and because we don’t plan to carry over the share links feature over to Firebase.
Definitely not ideal if you were using that feature a lot, but as a workaround I recommend downloading the stacktrace and issue details with the "Download .txt" file button and sharing that instead.
Downloading the stacktrace and issue details with the "Download .txt" file button was part of the Fabric.io. In Google Firebase, using the BigQuery is the best way to get that data. To to that make sure, you have enabled the BQ Integration under Project Settings > Integrations > BigQuery
For devleopment I have to do this:
If not installed yet, you have to install the following packages :
Extras / Google Play services
Extras / Google Repository
Android 6.0 (API 23) / Google APIs Intel x86 Atom System Image Rev. 19
Android SDK Build-tools 23.0.3
Is this for development only? Or do all my users of the app have to also download Google Play Services etc?
Yes I know this isn't really a question for stackoverflow, but where else can I ask this question? They are not letting me ask this in the github issues either.
I also can't test this, because react-native-maps isn't working for me, it keeps crashing. I wash hoping to learn if its worth the effort to fix the crash. If users have to install a bunch of stuff to use this, then its not worth.
If you are using services provided by Google Play Services like Maps, or push messages, location services or in-app payments then yes, your users must have it installed too. If you are not using Google Play Services, then it's not required.
But if required, they have to install Google Play Services app from Play Store, not development stuff like you listed:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en
EDIT
How come Google doesnt defalt install this?
Google Play Services or apps like Calendar, GMail etc are NOT part of Android. These are Google applications and may or may not come preinstalled, depending on licenses phone/tablet manufacturer purchased from Google. As Android can perfectly live w/o these apps, some devices does not include it or come with alternatives (i.e. using other providers than Google).
I don't know even know where the proper place to tell them would be
Your app should check if Google Play Services exists usually on start before it start using it. See this documentation which discuss this.
Weird, I just clicked on "Google Maps" on my Android Simulator and it made my react-native-maps start working.
There was a licence agreement when I clicked Google Maps on the phone, so as soon as I accepted it, react-native-maps started working.
I was trying to publish a new version of an Add-on that was already created, but when I tried to publish it, in the Developer Dashboard and on the top of the page a warning message was shown:
As of November 21st, 2016, all newly published packaged or hosted apps are restricted to Chrome OS, and are not available to users on Windows, Mac or Linux. Existing apps will continue to be available on all major platforms and will continue to receive updates. - More Info
Note: This change does not apply to Google Drive Apps or Add-Ons for Google Apps.
So if you click on the "More Info" button you will see more additional information.
So all of this should be a problem to me because I have important applications that I need everyday, so I wonder if there is any other alternative way to keep working with add-ons.
Thank you!
AFAIK, this change (if Google decides to proceed with it) would only apply to Chrome Apps (see my answer here).
In the Chromium Blogpost (also the link for More Info in your post), it mentioned:
In the second half of 2017, the Chrome Web Store will no longer show Chrome apps on Windows, Mac, and Linux, but will continue to surface extensions and themes.
Add-ons weren't specifically mentioned, but as already included in your post, Add-ons that are for Google Drive Apps or any Google Apps in general (e.g. Docs, Sheets, etc.) are the exception.
If you're add-on is associated with a non-Google App, it is possible that you will be affected with the change. Seeing as the Chrome App will be removed, the associated Add-ons would follow.
You probably already know the differences between a Chrome App, an Extension, and an Add-on, but for future readers that are not familiar, might as well post this link to a YouTube video that explains Apps vs Extensions vs Add-ons.
Am I able to "tap into" Google Chrome's Downloads page through an extension/add-on? I want to write an extension that needs the file names (or paths) of all the files that are currently being downloaded by the user. Will this possible? What APIs should I be looking at? It is quite tricky to search for this and I don't know where to begin.
No I can not find a Google Chrome API that will allow you to see the files that are currently being downloaded.
There are a number of experimental APIs, that alow deep integration with the browser here bt none that provide the information you require:

Not until Chrome 30.

It looks like Chrome extensions download's api will be released with chrome 30, and has been marked stable according to Peter Beverloo's blog.
A bit late but I think it is possible now with the chrome.downloads API:
