Thanks for the tutorial. Playstore installs fine, but I'm running into issues changing the permission of google play and google play services. Every time I open then in Settings/Apps, it closes and sends me right back to the setting screen.

EDIT:

OPENGAPPS_RELEASEDATE=$(curl https://github.com/opengapps/x86_64/releases/ | grep -o 'mini.*zip' | sed -n 1p | grep -o '[0-9]*' )

I modified this script to make it self-updating.
line 30:
this

OPENGAPPS_RELEASEDATE=$(curl https://github.com/opengapps/x86_64/releases/ | grep open_gapps-x86_64.*mini | sed -n 1p | cut -d "-" -f5 | cut -d '.' -f1)

instead of

OPENGAPPS_RELEASEDATE = "20180903"

and I moved the root user check and execution with bash on top of the script.

Hi. There was a bug in the script, that's why that was happening. I updated the article with a fix for this issue. Basically, you need to modify the script to download a more recent version of open-gapps. Look under step 2 in the article, where I noted "Update November 29, 2018". Proof that it works now: https://i.imgur.com/H48JFiG.jpg.

This worked great for me on Ubuntu 18.04.1 snap version in Hyper-V on Windows 10 Pro. Google Play and services are installed. It does seem that AnBox still has a way to go to be able to run more apps. Thanks for the article.

I'm having the same issue right now. I'm not sure if it's a bug with the script or Anbox itself, but I see an issue was posted for the script here: https://github.com/geeks-r-us/anbox-playstore-installer/issues/12. Let's hope this is fixed soon.

2018-10-17T12:02:58.826+01:00

Just had this issue too. If the download gets interrupted then you can just delete the android.img and open_gapps files from the anbox-work directory in your home folder. This forces the script to re-download and process them from scratch.

2018-10-15T03:49:41.350+01:00

I forked that script to a version that uses Anbox's rootfs overlay feature instead of rewriting the entire SquashFS image, but libhoudini doesn't work at all, no matter what I've tried. ARM based applications don't launch, and instead cause the launching application to lock up until the launch times out.

Great work!!
