Following the steps in the accepted answer didn't work for me. I followed the steps in this guide with an image running 5.0.0, and it got the job done. It's a step-wise process just like the accepted answer for adding Google Play
support to genymotion images.
The most important differences are that in the guide I linked to, they mention that installing Google Play Services
on images running higher than 5.0.0 may not work, and they say to change the ADB tool connection settings
in the Genymotion
desktop application's settings window to: Use custom Android SDK tools
. Also, the gapps
zips seem to be different.
The guide also uses GIFs to illustrate the steps in the process, so it leaves much less room for doubt.
Link to gapps
zip for Android 5.0 used in the guide -- requires Genymotion 2.4.0+
Link to ARM Translation Installer v1.1 used in the guide -- this is provided for convenience. it doesn't seem any different than the one provided in the accepted answer at first glance
