Genymotion 2 - No Connection on Google Play Store

Question

I'm using Genymotion 2.0.3 and following this guide to install Google Play Services for a Galaxy Nexus 4.1.1 API 16 device.

When launching Play Store I get "No Connection". However, I am able to browse etc. So there is definitely a working internet connection.

I tried two different Google accounts just to check and also tried all three Google Apps downloads (4.1 version does not flash) all with the same result.

I have an old 1.x virtual device from the previous version of Genymotion (4.1.1 with Google Apps) and Google Apps works perfectly there.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get Google Apps working for Genymotion 2.0.x and a 4.1.1 device?

Answer 1

You probably installed incompatible app services. Please download correct version compatible with your API from here. I had similar issue when I had API18, but downloaded services for API17.

Answer 2

You have to download the exact version of gapps to match the device API that you wish to run on. By default Genymotion does not come with gapps. To download gapps click on any of the link below. You can only drag and drop the setup on to Genymotion if it is signed already. So please download the signed gapps.
