Visual Studio produces the same result.

In fact, if you attempt to edit an existing “built in” Device (one that ships with the installation of Android Studio AVD) that shows it has Google Play and save that modification, it will lose its ability to use Google Play.As of the time of this writing (), if you modify or create any AVD in Android Studio, you will NOT receive the option to enable the Google Play Store, even if you select an Android Image from the SDK that states that has “Google Play.” Many suggest various ways of solving the problem but very few address what I consider to be the actual root cause of this issue: Bugs within the AVD Manager apps on both the Android Studio side as well as the Visual Studio side that prevent the configuration files from being created correctly. First, I think it is worth mentioning that there are many discussions and forum threads on this subject.Often, the Google Play enabled packages are not even selected by default. Don’t forget to select the check box in the lower right “ Show Package Details” to see all the packages available.

You can update the SDK in Android Studio by clicking File > Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Android SDK.I can’t tell you how many times the Google Play package has broken on me only to be fixed by updating to the latest versions of the Platform Images, the latest Emulator, and Build tools. Visual Studio as (assuming you are using a single SDK location (see above)) Android Studio seems to acquire the newer releases sooner. I recommend updating from Android Studio vs. Ensure each image SDK has the latest available.

Get Google Play to Work in Your Emulators 1. That’s all you need to do to get both IDEs using the same SDK. Then close and reopen Visual Studio for the changes to fully take effect. Click OK to save the settings in Visual Studio.Change the path value for the Android SDK Location so it matches the path listed in Android Studio:.Note the existing path for the Android SDK Location (so you can delete or rename this later).Start Visual Studio and click on Tools > Options > Xamarin > Android Settings.

Then, I will explain how to get the Emulators to use the Google Play Store. In this article, I will explain how to get both IDEs to use the same SDK. Either way, it is easier to get the Google Play Store to work when you only have to deal with one set of Emulators. Or you just want to have one set of emulator images and Android SDK to manage and you want your emulators to support the Google Play Store but just can't get the GUI in the AVD Managers (whether in Visual Studio or Android Studio) to make it work. Perhaps you have limited disk space and do not want to "waste" space by having two instances of the Android images installed for both Android Studio and Visual Studio.

This article will hopefully make this task a lot easier. Yet, actually getting it to be active inside the Emulator is illusive. Have you been pulling your hair out because you can't get Google Play to work on the Android Emulator? Have you been asking yourself, "shouldn't it be easier to get such as simple thing to work so you can get back to writing code?" You see the options (for Google Play Store) in the GUI (at least on the Visual Studio side) and even some references to it in the AVD Manager.
