'How Can I Get Google Play to Work on Android Emulator in Android Studio Bumblebee 2021.x.x.x
The AVD GUI does NOT allow the selection of Play Images for some reason anymore!
Solution 1:[1]
Since you cannot select the Play store image anymore you need to edit some files
NOTE: This may also work in Visual Studio (not tested - some feedback will be apreciated!)
Load the image with SDK manager
Create a device with the correct API and Hardware profile and Finish
Before you start this new AVD you need to Edit the files as follow
Edit config.ini (I use VIM but any editor will work) Edit the following lines in the file
PlayStore.enabled=true
avd.ini.displayname=Pixel 4 XL API 32 Play
image.sysdir.1=system-images\android-32\google_apis_playstore\x86_64\
tag.display=Google Play
tag.id=google_apis_playstore
- Start the AV Device and check if the Play Icon is available - Test it By logging in!
- ALL DONE!
