title: Google Play store app on 4.2.2 AVD?
body: <p>Is it possible to install the Google Play store app on an Android 4.2.2 AVD?</p>
  
  <p>Searching stackoverflow I've come across a lot of questions asking this, but many of the answers are incomplete or are for older versions of Android.</p>
  
  <p>I followed the instructions <a href="http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> and my AVD does have Google Play Services installed. However, it lacks the Google Play app. Is there a way to install it on an AVD? If not, why has Google imposed this limitation?</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to be able to simulate updating system apps on a virtual device. If there's a way to accomplish this without using Google Play, that would solve my problem as well.</p>
