I have heard he doesn't keep those up anymore and I don't want them to break and be stuck with 50 apps that don't work...
I feel much safer using the official plugin. Except for it doesn't work either...
I have asked Ashley to fix it so we can release our games into the google play store using the standard plugin.
I hope it happens soon ...
The official plugin by Ashley is optimized for HTML5 (Desktop / Web) as far as I know. However you can use it with cordova as well.
But then you need to add an additional cordova plugin.

See "Extra Steps for Cordova".
I personally use the "CocoonGooglePlayGames" plugin, which is working fine for me.
However it just works for CocoonIO.
