Answer 1

I tried almost all of the above options, but was not able to install google play services, however just found from the faq section of genymotion that the only way to access google play services is to use the packages provided by OpenGapps.

I tried and this worked:

1. Visit opengapps.org
2. Select x86 as platform
3. Choose the Android version corresponding to your virtual device
4. Select nano as variant
5. Download the zip file
6. Drag & Drop the zip installer in new Genymotion virtual device (2.7.2 and above only)
7. Follow the pop-up instructions
