How to install PlayStore on android emulator (not supported device)
#android
#emulator
#playstore
First, open avd using vim.
$ vi ~/.android/avd
After that, use your keyboard and find your_emulator_name.avd
Press Enter.
After press Enter, you can find out config.ini
Press Enter.
You will see this kind of ini setup texts.
Maybe your file’s PlayStore.enabled will be false.
Like this
PlayStore.enabled = false
Make this to true
Like this
PlayStore.enabled = true
And after that, find out image.sysdir.1
Maybe your file’s image.sysdir.1 will be system-images/android-32/google_apis/arm64-v8a/
Like this
image.sysdir.1 = ystem-images/android-32/google_apis/arm64-v8a/
Make above like this.
image.sysdir.1 = system-images/android-33/google_apis_playstore/arm64-v8a/
Just change google-apis to google_apis_playstore
That’s it!
Restart your emulator. If you still cannot find PlayStore in your emulator, open Android Studio and open avd managers.
Wipe data of your emulator. It will work.
