Android Emulator without playstore on android studio 3.1 Latest release


I have updated my android studio 3.0.1 to 3.1 yesterday and i was trying to create AVD of nexus 5 & nexus 5X which default comes with playstore. I installed x86 system image of naugat Android 7.0(Google Apis) on it. When download completes and i boot my AVD then it contains some google apps (gmail,playmusic,playmovie) but doesn't contain google play store or play services. Why it happens? In earlier version of android studio (e.g. 3.0.1) if i follow the same process then it creates AVD with playstore. Can anyone please tell me what's going wrong in this?

Solution

  • I reported a bug from Android Studio (Help > Submit Feedback) and Android support told me that I was selecting a system image that has Google APIs, but if I want to get play store installed on the emulator, I have to select system images that have Google Play:
