Google Play Store

The application you are developing or testing may require an interaction with Google Play Services (e.g.: in-app purchasing, advertising, etc.). However, for Intellectual Property reasons, Google Apps (Gmail, Drive, Calendar...) and Google Play services are not included in Genymotion virtual devices by default. You need to install the Open GApps package using Genymotion built-in feature.

We assume no liability whatsoever resulting from the download, install and use of Google Play Services within your virtual devices. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
