Alright  this is probably the easiest way to do it   First of all  you will have to install GAPPS  Next  open the virtual box and wait for the home screen to show up on Genymotion  Drag and drop the GAPPS folder that you had downloaded earlier on into Genymotion  You would get a prompt  Click OK  You would see a lot of errors  but just ignore them and wait for the successful prompt to come up  Click OK again and restart the virtual device  A Google account screen should show up  Open up the playstore app if it doesn t show up  Sign into your account  Again ignore the errors  The playstore should open now and should be fully functional

EDIT 2  After three months we can say  no more official Google Apps in Genymotion and CyanogenMod-like method is only way to get Google Apps  However  you can still use the previous project of the Genymotion team  AndroVM  download mirror      EDIT  Google apps will be removed from Genymotion in November  You can find more information on the Genymotion Google Plus page     Choose virtual device with Google Apps     Done
