How can I download from Google Play using a Bluestacks very old build 0721 ? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an old laptop that is running Bluestacks build 0721 Beta, which is great news. But I'm having problems trying to download a specific app that I can only get from Google play.
The main problem is Google Play doesn't come pre-installed, and so through trial and error I've had to to install the ADW Launcher app from the pre-installed mobile1 app, which allows me to at least get to the Google Play homepage.
But this then asks me for my Google account and password which I enter, which then causes it to promptly return to the ADW Launcher home.
I think the problem is that although I can add a Facebook and Twitter account with this version, I can't add a Google account. I've tried to download the current Google Gmail app, but it says my device isn't compatible.
Any of you guys know how I can get get Google Play to download apps on the first downloadable build 0721 of Bluestacks?
Cheers,
Jmc

[Q] Updated ROM - where are my apps?

Think it may have to do with setting up a different gmail acct than the one I use with Google Play on previous ROM. regardless, now I just have a dozen or so generic apps instead of all my previously installed ones. Help!
If you change to a diffrent Google account only sideloaded apps (apps not loaded through Google) will stay on the device. All other apps has to be re-installed through the new Google account.
At least I think that's how it is...

Yep, that's how it is. Play Store apps are linked to the account on your device. With that being said, though, you can also have two Google accounts on one device -- add another Google account in System Settings, and you'll be able to select which account is active when you're using the Play Store.

No apps updates in Play Store

Hello,
I recently bought Asus MeMo Pad 10 Smart and I have slightly problem. When I set up an account on first account there are no updates for system apps in Play Store, but they are when I wipe everything and set up on my second account, there are plenty of updates (gmail, hangout etc.). But because I need to use first account I don't know how to fix it. I already update system to Andorid 4.2.1 and I have latest (?) version of Google Play services (4.4.52) and Google Play Store (4.6.17). I tried also to uninstall updates and install them again but without success. Does anybody know how to fix it?
best regards,

Unknown issue with Google Play services - Gmail 5.0

Hi all,
I have this weird issue with the new Gmail 5.0 (updated directly from Play Store) and it keeps brining this message up and FC: Unknown issue with Google Play services. All the other Google apps work perfectly fine, it's just the new Gmail and Inbox that don't work.
Deleting the GmsCore.apk and re-installing via Play Store is not an option as it wouldn't let me in the Store then. I am running LegacyXperia CM11 on my Xperia Ray. I should mention that I side-loaded an updated services apk from apkmirror.com, perhaps, someone can upload their Google Play services apk?
Help will be appreciated. :good:
Gee Mail
Just received the update and get the same issue. Now can't use GMail at all.
I have the same issue too.
But I was using the ART, and I can open the gmail app after switched back to dalvik VM.
I will stop using ART in (4.4)m which has many compatibility issue (even with google!) , fallback to dalvik VM and wait until Lollipop.

Do you suffer from space insufficiency?
Are you trying to cure that thing by moving applications that get updated from /data/app to /system/app?
If yes then this might be your problem. Here is what I had.
With latest Google play services update all Google apps (Maps, YouTube, Gmail and Inbox by gmail) were working fine.
Then I needed space so I took the updated Google services apk which took a lot of space in my data partition and moved it to my system partition where its predecessor used to be. I did it completely well using root explorer and checking all tricky parts. I should mention that I study computer engineering and I've been into android more than 5 years so I know my way around.
Immediately after the transfer:
YouTube didn't load anything.
Gmail showed me the same message as you.
Maps force closed.
Inbox by gmail showed me a message of "oops something went wrong please try again later".
It is now my understanding that Google play services has become a very sensitive application that sadly should not be messed with. Especially with a completely redesigned and revamped app such as gmail 5.0 or inbox by gmail. They are just not THAT compatible yet to be able to keep working together after they've been moved around inside partitions.
My suggestion find the latest .zip of "pa gapps" flash it, update the apps that need updating and leave them as they are. They should work like that.
That aint it either

I'm afraid not. This is just an standard install of stock rom no root and certainly not moving files in system areas. All that's happened is I allowed to install the Gmail update then EPIC FAIL.
I have Gmail 5.0 (1569867) and Google Play Services 6.1.88 (1557022-036)
Guys, any update on this? It's getting really annoying to constantly reflash my rom from time to time... Is it possible that Google failed this much?
remove and reinstall the Google play services solved problem.
I've the same issue here but in a very custom rom, thought was my fault
Gee Music
Now after receiving an update of Google Music I now get a permanent notification saying "Unknown issue with Google Play services. Requested by Google Play Music'
So folks what do we do? Uninstall updates? Disable? Will rolling back break the rest of Android?
We have lift off!
Well what do you know? Suddenly my Gmail & Google Play Music now works. Hang on I didn't get any update notifications on these two apps.
Wait a minute, my Google Play Services has been stealthily updated to 6.5.87 (1599771-036)
Thanks Google. Sneaky.
Had the same issue
I had the same issue this two days Gmail wasn't working at all and Hangout was working but for every action i was taking it was giving me the error Unknown issue with Google Play Services and i found out the in my case the problem was Link2SD so what i did was unlinking Google Play Store and Google Play Services than i uninstalled Google Play Services and installed it againn but didn't linked them and error was gone.
The conclusion on my case was linking the app to sd card was causing the error.
Thanks

In may case turns out that I had a version of "google play services" for Android 5.0+ instead of for Android 2.3+.
I did install "google play services" with "System app unistaller" and install the recommended version at gappsandroid.blogspot.com/2015/01/download-google-play-services-apks.html.
Note: In order to uninstall "google play services" "Adndroid devide manager" must be off in System -> Security -> Device administrators. Re-enabled it after install the correct "google play services" version.
Hope that helps

what unlinking means?
This is also just happened to me this morning. Suddenly my calendar and GMail stop working and prompting the error "Unknown error in Google Play Services".
I tried to remove and re-add the Google account but no success. Clearing cache and application data also no luck for me.
I tried to Google this case and one of the guy suggesting to do these following steps and it works for me:
1. Untick the Android Device Manager from Setting - Security - Device Administrator
2. Go to Setting - Apps then look for Google Play Services. Click on Uninstall updates.
3. Reboot the phone
4. Open HangOut and it will prompt to update Google Play Services.
5. Update the google play services.
6. Done.
Now everything is working again for me.
Maybe you guys can try it. Hopefully it will helps.

I tried the Google Installer of the Mi App Store but it did not work.
I encountered this error for most apps: Can't downgrade apps.
That is why I have listed the apps above so you know what to install and you are sure to get the latest versions for each.

I see. I have found a few Google Installer apps that might help but they are all in Chinese.... So your method might be the best

I had the same problem. Try to reinstall it, enable autostart and disable any energy restrictions in App Infos. Restart your phone eventually.

Weird because as far as I remember, when typing Google in the App Store, the only result was Google Installer.

Unfortunately I could not see those apps in Mi Store before installing the Google Framework, Services, Sync and Play Store.
But now I can see a lot more apps (Google Translate, AirBnb, ...)
It is weird I have 2 possible results to display.
anyone has else issue setting up card for instore payment with google pay?
miui 10.3.11
Can't complete set up for contactless payment
To resolve this, you'll need to contact your bank. You can still pay with this card on Google and across other apps and sites, just like before.
i have no issue with setting up these cards on another phone though...

I had the problem too and I tried all your steps but none worked. I found a guide on google which actually works. It's here http://en.miui.com/thread-4843639-1-1.html
Basically it says to turn off the MIUI Optimization and get an app from the Play Store called "App Permission Info" to bring back the AOSP style permission UI and set the permission for Contact and ContactSync app from there since MIUI permission doesn't work well on this particular case.
Edit: I just found a way to access AOSP style permission without additional app on MIUI 10. Just search "optimization" in the settings and click on "Battery Optimization". You have to open it from the search list otherwise it won't open the AOSP style app info.
in my quest to install google play i did something wrong.
In notification i get a warning: "Update Google Play services - Google play services wont run unless you update..." but when i press on the notification, google play opens, with Play services and the only option is "Deactivate".
Can anyone point out a solution?
if we already get the google play store, does it mean we don't need to finish downloading the remain apps from google installer? i stuck at google play service. Pls to reply. thanks

How to continue using Google Play after September 2021?

I have an LG Optimus Elite running Android 2.3.7, and support for logging into a Google account has been removed.
According to this XDA thread, it should be possible to preserve your login if you backup the data from your Google apps.
If this is the case, is there any way to go around the Google login process and make Play Store work again? Are there any files I can edit that would allow me to login?
I swear I was logged in before I decided to pick up this ancient brick again, but I was logged out of both of my Google accounts, one which never had it's password changed.
(And are there any versions of F-Droid that work on 2.3.7? The latest version doesn't work on 2.3.7...)
Thanks.
