In a first step to fix this state (as with the current google vision barcode scanner issue) I also cleared the app data of the Play Services installation (12.6.85) and was able to get this sample app running, logcat eventually indicating that the download succeeded (detection works from here):

However, a restart of the device brings back the above mentioned download issue. This is something out of user’s control, so I was wondering if there’s any other workaround available for ML.
