How to add Google Play store on a custom device of AVD?


enter image description here

I'm trying to have a particular install of Android to test one of my clients claim (she has a bug with Chrome on her phone, that I can't myself replicate)

So I want to create a device that is the same as her phone model, a Samsung Galaxy S5. Thing is, AVD won't let me have the Google Play Store on a custom hardware created.

Is there a way to add the playstore to a device?

Its weird because the screenshot given is before even I select an Android Build, so what is preventing my hardware from being compatible with the playstore? Even cloning one that already exists with Play Store seemingly desactivates it.


Solution

  • Unfortunately you can't add google play to a custom device, instead you could just install devices that already have google play.
