Google play store

Hello,
How can I install Google play store on Waydroid?

@ktatar156 You can take a look at the installation guide here:

See the part mentioning:

"waydroid init -s GAPPS"

I guess you will need to remove WayDroid and reinstall it from the scratch.

Then replace

waydroid init

with:

waydroid init -s GAPPS

I didn't use Google Play Store on WayDroid so I can't ensure you that it will work....

The Aurora Store available to install in F-droid also gives access to the apps in the Google Play Store.

@ktatar156 Even Waydroid Helper allows you to install Waydroid with Google Apps: https://open-store.io/app/waydroidhelper.aaronhafer

That should make it easier than having to use command line.

Why do you need the Waydroid Helper App if you have to fetch Waydroid via Terminal

@dpitti You have to? One of the features of Waydroid Helper is that it will install Waydroid for you. Be it with GAPPS or not. So I don't think you have to use terminal at all.

Note I am not saying you can't or shouldn't. Use whatever you prefer. I've tried both out of curiosity and usually just go with terminal, but there is this option.
