I also faced same issue I sort it by downloading the correct GApps meant for particular android version.Here is the list:

Note: For Android 6.0 ,you need to flash first .zip i.e(gapps-L-4-21-15.zip)and reboot .Then you need to sign-in to your google account and then flash second .zip (benzo-gapps-M-20151011-signed-chroma-r3.zip.) and reboot again.

Hope it helps ...Cheers

    this [link](https://inthecheesefactory.com/blog/how-to-install-google-services-on-genymotion/en) is helful too – sepehr Aug 21 '16 at 13:40
  • Thanks for the links. It was a little hard to find those because recent Genymotion itself provides the 'Open GAPPS' button. But it doesn't work with old 4.3 ROMs, so your answer is really helpful. – Jenix Jan 26 '19 at 12:16

  1. Download and install GAPPS APK from the official website.
  2. Grant root permissions to the app and click next
  3. This app will automatically detect CPU Architecture and Android version. please note it down
  4. Then go to OPEN GAPPS WEBSITE
  5. And then select desired Platform , Android version and Variant and click download button.
  6. After downloading Gapps.zip file. Now Drag and Drop GApps.zip , Genymotion-ARM-Translation one by one then restart Genymotion.

Completely remove your Virtualbox and Genymotion. There are old registry files hidden in your computer which are preventing you from flashing Gapp properly.

Here are few links teaching you how to uninstall Genymotion and Virtualbox:

uninstall-genymotion-genymotion-removal-genymotion-windows-uninstaller Don't download their software because it doesn't remove everything

how-to-uninstall-virtualbox-drivers-on-windows

And finally there should be a Genymobile folder in your

 User -> (Username) -> AppData -> Local folder

Hope that helped

  • Also try searching "VBox" in your System32 folder to find leftover files. There will be few files in the FileRepository folders that cannot be removed easily. Use http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html is a guide – VillagerA Nov 26 '14 at 07:50

    What if I'm experiencing this issue on Mac? – IgorGanapolsky Oct 26 '15 at 15:08
  • worked for me without running uninstall code on ubuntu 15.10, genymotion 2.6.0 only deleted genymotion and uninstall virtual box on software center – Murat Dec 26 '15 at 04:04
  • @Lrrr can you please elaborate? Does removing the Gen and VB and reinstalling them solve the issue? You also pointed out the app data. should that also be removed? – Lakshmi Narayanan Feb 20 '16 at 18:23

That'll happen when you're trying to install flashable gapps meant for a different api version. Make sure the device you're emulating in genymotion is the version the gapps is meant for.
