Download and install benzo-gapps-M-20151011-signed-chroma-r3.

After rebooting, go to Google Play and sign in.

Download and install gapps-L-4-21-15.zip.

Download and install the Genymotion ARM Translation then restart the emulator.

The version of GApps from Team Android crashed on Android 6.0, but I figured out a workaround based on z3ntu's post. If this does not work, go into App Settings and disable it. Dismiss the crash dialogs and try to update it using Google Play. On several versions of Android, Google+ will crash repeatedly. Once the various Google apps update, you will likely get notifications that you must update Google Play Services.

Once you are signed in, go to My Apps and update all installed apps. Once the emulator restarts, open Google Play and sign in with your account. When you are prompted, shutdown the emulator and then restart it. When the dialog opens, select Install and shut down. Installing GApps the same way by dragging the correct ZIP file and drop it on the running emulator. Once it finishes installing, shut down and restart the emulator. I find that many apps work as is, but for those that don't you should download and install Genymotion ARM Translation which provides ARM to x86 translations.ĭownload the ARM Translation ZIP, then drag it onto your running emulator. The Visual Studio emulators are x86 whereas most Android devices are ARM based. The GApps versions I have found to work are, API I had to find an alternate version of GApps that installs and runs on Android 6.0. This requires an extra install, so see the instructions at the end. Some versions from Team Android also do not install. Do not download from Open GApps, they will not install. The best place to download GApps is from Team Android. The Visual Studio Emulator for Android does not ship with Google Play Services, so if you want to use those services, like Google Maps, you must install them.īack in 2015, I outlined the installation steps, but those steps no longer work and the process is now much easier.
