How to install Google Play app in Android Studio emulator?.

Keep in mind that even though your device will now have Play Store, the Play Store icon will not appear next to your device in Device Manager If you change PlayStore.enabled in config.ini to true, it'll start showing the Play Store icon next to the device in AVD Manager. IF you don't re-download the system image, you'll likely get the following when trying to run the emulator PANIC: Cannot find AVD system path.

Click Download for your device so that it installs the system image with Google Play Image.sysdir.1 = system-images/android-30/google_apis_playstore/x86/Īndroid Studio > Tools > AVD Manager.

Image.sysdir.1 = system-images/android-30/google_apis/x86/Īll i had to do was update the config, re-download the system image and then restart the device PlayStore.enabled = true

Image.sysdir.1 = system-images/android-29/google_apis_playstore/x86/Īnd this is how it was in Pixel 3 XL PlayStore.enabled = false This is from the config that had Play Store installed (Pixel 3a) PlayStore.enabled = true Compare the config.ini file with another AVD device that does has Play Store installed and then update the one for Google Pixel XL after figuring out the change ~/.android/avd/DEVICE_ID/config.ini I found the answer on StackOverflow, and it's pretty straight forward. I needed a phone with a notch, and decided on Google Pixel XL, but turns out it didn't have Play Store installed

Not all AVD profiles come with Play Store installed.
