I have tried so many options/blogs/scripts to install GooglePlay for Emulator (running through Android Studio) but it never works. I have seen so many different errors

  1. Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE]
  2. Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
  3. Failure No space left on /system

Comment - Why is it so hard to install GooglePlay on Emulator, can someone provide steps or GApps that work with Marshmallow/Noughat. Or Why doesnt Google provide standard steps to install GApps for Emulators !

Here's the gist of what I have tried :

  1. Copy GApps from http://opengapps.org/ [ Platform: x86_64; Android: 6 & 7; Variant: full ]
  2. Extract the zipped file to temporary folder and then extract following apks from it to another folder
    • gsfcore-all/nodpi/priv-app/GoogleServicesFramework/GoogleServicesFramework.apk
    • gsflogin-all/nodpi/priv-app/GoogleLoginService/GoogleLoginService.apk
    • gmscore-x86_64/nodpi/priv-app/PrebuiltGmsCore/PrebuiltGmsCore.apk
    • vending-all/nodpi/priv-app/Phonesky/Phonesky.apk

  3. Try pushing these apks through this script

    IMAGE_NAME=Nexus_5X_API_24 #Nexus_5X_API_23
emulator @${IMAGE_NAME} -no-boot-anim -writable-system &
adb wait-for-device
adb root
adb shell stop
adb shell 'mount -o remount,rw /system'
adb push PrebuiltGmsCore.apk /system/priv-app/
adb push GoogleServicesFramework.apk /system/priv-app/
adb push GoogleLoginService.apk /system/priv-app/
adb push Phonesky.apk /system/priv-app/
adb shell start

Latest Error : Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE]

How can I make sure that openGApps will be compatible with Android apart from taking these options into account :

  1. Android Version (Noughat/Api 24/Android 7)
  2. Platform (x86_64 )

I would really appreciate any help !!

  • You didn't even follow all the steps in the posts you referenced... – ElefantPhace Aug 29 '16 at 22:02

  • Not sure how you reached the conclusion that I didnt follow all the steps mentioned in the post as I have gone through them multiple times with nearly 5-6 different Virtual Devices, latest one Nexus_5_API_23 which is giving 'No space left on device' error – MaqZ Aug 29 '16 at 22:14
  • First off the Nexus 5 does not have an x86 processor, second your not remounting system as Read/write – ElefantPhace Aug 30 '16 at 01:45
  • @ElefantPhace - This post is in reference to Emulator/VirtualDevice, not the actual Nexus5 – MaqZ Aug 30 '16 at 17:21
  • did you find a solution? I also get this annoying "no space left on device" though I changed all .ini files, increased system, data, sdcard partition minimum 1024mb – user25 Jun 10 '18 at 08:38

Starting with Android Studio 3.0 Canary 1, you have now some options of devices that come with the Play Store app built-in(Nexus 5X and Nexus 5 on image below). The current supported versions are Nougat and O.
