Operating Systems Support :

  • MacOS X.

Problem :

Unfortunately, two features were removed from the latest Genymotion 2.0, due to licensing issues: ARM library support and Google Apps (Google Play Store).

So I have a solution for you!

  1. In Genymotion create a new device (Ex : Nexus S 4.2.2 API 17).
  2. Download Google Apps (Universal package) zip file from http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps#Universal_Packages_2 (Ex : For my virtual device I used the latest Universal package (20130301).
  3. Start the virtual device and once it is up and running drag and drop the zip file in the Genymotion virtual machine.
  4. Next step, you will get a file flashable dialog click the “ok” button. Then restart the machine and Google Play Store and the other Google apps should be installed:
