How do I run Google Play Store on Genymotion Desktop?

**How to install Google Play Store on Genymotion Desktop?**

Genymotion Desktop does not ship with Google Play Store pre‑installed. To get it you need to run the built‑in “Open GApps” installation feature. Here’s a quick step‑by‑step guide for the current version (2025‑09):

1. **Open the Genymotion Desktop app** and launch your virtual device.

2. In the **right‑hand toolbar**, click the **Open GApps** button.


3. A disclaimer window will appear. Read it carefully and click **ACCEPT** (or **INSTALL GAPPS** depending on the wording).

4. Genymotion will automatically download and flash the Open GApps package.

*No manual APK download or manual flashing required.*

5. When the flashing finishes, you’ll be prompted to **RESTART DEVICE**. Click it (or restart later).

6. After reboot, the **Google Play Store** app will appear in the device’s app drawer, ready for use.

> **Tip:** If you’re on a PC or Intel‑based Mac, the virtual device uses an x86/x86_64 image. Some Google Play apps (especially games) are only compiled for arm64 and may show “Your device isn’t compatible” errors. In that case, use a Mac M (arm64) or switch to Genymotion SaaS Cloud with an arm64 image.
