Due to Genymotion's uidness and ease of use, it now becomes the most
popular android emulator allowsandroid developers to test their app
directly on their computer.
However, it still lacks of Google Services just like Google Play Store, Google
Maps, etc. on Genymotion emulator whichmakes us developer not be able
to test those functionalities that use Google Services for example GCM Push
Notications or Google Maps.
Anyway it is not a problem anymore since there is some simple steps to do
to make Google Services be avaiable on Genymotion with some help from
CyanogenMod's gapps.
Step 1: InstallARM Translation - The secret behind Genymotion's
uidness is its ROM is compiled to x86 to match the most popular
computer's CPU Architecture. But CyanogenMod's gapps is compiled in

ARM. That's the reason why we can't just simply install gapps on
Genymotion. To make it works, we need to install an ARM Translation
which will let those ARM apps be able to run on this x86 virtual device.
To install, downloadGenymotion-ARM-Translation_v1.1zip
(http://letrip.net/dl?4SUOrdcMRv)and then drop&drop the downloaded
le to an opened Genymotion virtual device. After le transfering is done,
there will be a conrmation dialog like below. Just simple click OK to ash it
on virtual device.

There will be an another dialog to let you know that theashing process is
done.

You need to reboot the virtual device now but we don't suggest to just close
the virtual device and relaunchit once again since it may leads to some
weird behaviour. To make it done completely nd, you need to reboot the
device through command line like this:

adbreboot

In case you accidentally close the virtual device, don't be panic. You might
need to relaunch for a few times before it canboot up.
Step 2: Install gapps - Before we go on to the next step, you need to
download the ashable zip of gapps by your virtual device's Android
version:

After the virtual device is booted up, you will notice that Google Play
services has stoppedproblem will keep popping up like this:

Don't be surprised and don't panic. You did it all right. This error happens
because the installed gapps is justtoo old and didn't match the latest ROM
Genymotion provided. All you need to do is be patient and login to Google
Play Store and update all of installed app.

And also don't forget to update Google Play Servicesas well. It should be
notied through thedevice's notication area after your pressed the Update
All button in Google Play Store.
Congratulations, Google Play Services are now available on your
Genymotion virtual device. A by-product of this installation is you are also
able to run the app compiled in ARM on Genymotion as well.
