I can't find Google Play Store. Where is it?

Google Play Store availability and install method

Google Play Store and Services are not pre-installed on the virtual devices.

You have to use Genymotion Open GApps install built-in feature to get them.

Installing the Open GApps manually with a package from opengapps.org website is not supported.

Installing the manual package will likely fail or corrupt your device.

You will not find any packages for Android 12 and above on the official website.

Please use Genymotion built-in feature instead, as described below.

Step 1 — Click the Open GApps button in the right-side toolbar.
Step 2 — Read the disclaimer carefully and click ACCEPT to start the installation.
Step 3 — The OpenGApps package will be automatically downloaded and flashed.
The device needs to reboot to complete the installation.
Click RESTART NOW or RESTART LATER if you wish to reboot later.
The device will reboot and a webpage to the Open GApps website will be opened.
Google Play Store is now installed on the device.
It can be found in Android's App Drawer.
Note — The Open GAPPs widget is available with Genymotion Desktop free edition.
You do not need to purchase a license to install and use Google Play Store.

Step 1 — Access the virtual device display and open the INSTALL APPS widget in the right-side toolbar.
Step 2 — Click INSTALL GAPPS in the widget window.
Step 3 — Read the disclaimer carefully and click INSTALL GAPPS to accept and start the automatic installation.
Step 4 — When flashing is complete, click RESTART DEVICE to reboot and complete the installation.
Google PlayStore is now installed on the instance. It can be found in Android's App Drawer.
