This just started occurring. I get the error:

"Feedly Google Reader News RSS" could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error retrieving information from server [RPC:S-5:AEC-0])


This happens for any app I try to download from Google Play Store.I restarted the phone, cleared data and cache and it still doesn't work!
 
In settings, log out of your Google account and then log back in. It fixed it for me last night.

That happened to me recently also. I guess since I cleared out my Google Services to try and force my phone to get 4.3 it caused that same error code. I used kkeyte's solution to fix it.

Give thanks to kkeyte for his post http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...ror-solution-rpc-s-5-aec-0-a.html#post2328033

I've had the same with a Galaxy Nexus on 4.1.2. I think what caused it was my stopping the Google Services Framework and clearing the data so that I could do a proper, clean check to see if 4.2 was available (it wasn't) without doing a manual install.

I really didn't want to follow the guide above in deleting my account because it's the primary account and it would effectively reset the phone and mean a lot of work to get it back as it is.

I did fix it, however. What I did was the following:

- Create a new Google account with any name you choose. It's temporary, so pick anything
- Clear dada & cache for the Google Play Store
- Uninstall updates for Google Play Store, taking it back to the factory installed version (don't worry - you'll get the updates back)
- Start Google Play
- Select accounts and choose the new one you've just created
- Go to My Apps and pick (a free) one to update and update it. That should be successful
- Come out of Google Play
- Go into settings and delete the temporary Google account you just created
- Go back to Google Play and make sure that the account is set to your primary one
- Complete all updates

All should be well. But - it may be very different for you than it was for me. Anyway - this is all non-destructive, so it's easy and painless to try.
 
Many thanks to both kkeyte, and MongoosePanda for the heads up!
It worked like a charm!
 
how do I log out my Google account? do you mean turn off all synced services?

By log out I believe he means remove your account and re-add it again. And it should fix it, if not you might have to try the solution I posted.
