How to install Google Play Services in a Genymotion VM with no drag and drop support

Question

How can I install Google Play Services in a Genymotion emulator with no drag and drop support   I can t install it as mentioned in Stack Overflow post How do you install Google frameworks  Play  Accounts  etc   on a Genymotion virtual device  due to the lack of support for drag and drop installation   Genymotion supports Google Apps for a few emulators  but it doesn t support tablet emulators

Drag and Drop did not work on my system      I found a blogpost which describes how you install it with adb   adb push Genymotion-ARM-Translation v1 1 zip  sdcard Download Genymotion-ARM-Translation v1 1 zip  adb push gapps-jb-yyyymmdd-signed zip  sdcard Download gapps zip  adb shell flash-archive sh  sdcard Download Genymotion-ARM-Translation v1 1 zip  adb reboot  adb shell flash-archive sh  sdcard Download gapps zip  adb reboot

For Android 6 0 at least  the ARM Translation thing is apparently unnecessary   Just grab an x86   Android 6 0 package  nano is fine  from OpenGApps and install by dragging-and-dropping and telling it to flash   It seems the ARM translation thing was previously required  before the x86 package was available  You might still need the ARM translation if you want to install ARM-only apps though

As of Genymotion 2 10 0 and onwards  GApps can be installed from the emulator toolbar  Please refer to answer by  MichaelStoddart   Next follows former answer kept here for historic reason   Genymotion doesn t provide Google Apps  To install Google Apps    Upgrade Genymotion and VirtualBox to the latest version  Download two zip files   - ARM Translation Installer v1 1  - Google Apps for your Android version  2 3 7 - 4 4 4 or 4 4 - 6 0  with platform and variant  You can also find the GApps list in the wbroek user GitHubGist page  Open Genymotion emulator and go to home screen then drag and drop the first file Genymotion-ARM-Translation v1 1 zip over the emulator  A dialog will appear and show as file transfer in progress  then another dialog will appear and ask that do you want to flash it on the emulator  Click OK and reboot the device by running adb reboot from your terminal or command prompt   Drag and drop the second file gapps- -signed zip and repeat the same steps as above  Run adb reboot again and  once rebooted  Google Apps will be in the emulator   At this point  Google Apps Services  will crash frequently with the following message google play services has stopped working  Open Google Play  After providing your account details  open Google Play and update your installed Google Apps  This seems to make Google Play realize you have an old Google Play Services and will ask you to update  in my case  updating Google Hangouts required a new version of Google Play Services   I ve also heard that simply waiting will also prompt you to update  The  Google Play Services  app doesn t seem to appear otherwise - you can t search for it  You should then see an offer to update Google Play Services  Once the new Google Play Services is installed you will now have stable  working access to Google Play

Following the steps in the accepted answer didn t work for me  I followed the steps in this guide with an image running 5 0 0  and it got the job done  It s a step-wise process just like the accepted answer for adding Google Play support to genymotion images   The most important differences are that in the guide I linked to  they mention that installing Google Play Services on images running higher than 5 0 0 may not work  and they say to change the ADB tool connection settings in the Genymotion desktop application s settings window to  Use custom Android SDK tools  Also  the gapps zips seem to be different   The guide also uses GIFs to illustrate the steps in the process  so it leaves much less room for doubt   Link to gapps zip for Android 5 0 used in the guide -- requires Genymotion 2 4 0   Link to ARM Translation Installer v1 1 used in the guide -- this is provided for convenience  it doesn t seem any different than the one provided in the accepted answer at first glance
