As of Genymotion v2.0, Geny has removed support for ARM, so there is no drag/n/drop support for the GApps packages. However, there is a flashable package available to let you flash GApps packages.

  1. Download the following ZIP: http://filetrip.net/dl?4SUOrdcMRv, and also download the GApps package, correspondent to your emulator's Android version. You can find 1.6 - 4.3.x GApps here: http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps. 4.4.x GApps are here: www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23311191640114013.
  2. Next Open your Genymotion VM and go to the Homescreen.
  3. Now Drag&Drop the Genymotion-ARM-Translation.zip onto the Genymotion VM window.
  4. It should say "File transfer in progress", once it asks you to flash it click 'OK'
  5. Now Reboot your VM using ADB or an app like ROM Toolbox. If nescessary you can simply close the VM window, but I don't recommend it.
  6. Once you're on the Homescreen again Drag&Drop the gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip(or whatever version you got) onto your VM, and click 'OK' when asked.
  7. Once it finishes, again Reboot your VM and open the Google Play Store.
  8. Sign in using your Google account.
  9. Once in the Store go to the 'My Apps' menu and let everything update(fixes a lot of issues), also try updating Google Play Services directly.
  10. Now try searching for 'Netflix' and 'Google Drive'.
  11. If both apps show up in the results and you're able to Download/Install them, then congrats you now have ARM support and Google Play fully setup!
