Can't access the play store

[manny2308]

I have a tablet used to car diagnostics and is running android KitKat. I was looking for the play store and found it wasn't installed on the tablet. I went onto apkmirror and downloaded the latest version of the play store but when I try to open it, it kicks me out. could there be something installed on the tablet to kick me out of the play store?

Does you tablet have Gapps (gmail,Crome,Google services framework, ...ect)?

I don't think it does

Then that explains it. You can look for an Alternative app store. Give me a minute to give you some alternatives.

You can also use an alternative to YouTube. An app called NewPipe check this link and Ill post some alternatives in this thread.

NewPipe dose not require Google Services

The app I need to download is from the play store though. Is there any way to download GAPPS?

 

[MrJavi]

F-Droid or G-Droid consider trustworthy
From there you can download NewPipe, or other alternative AppStore.

Not so trustworthy but Alternatives that I like and use are Aptoid and APKPure. Both offer options for downloading lower versions of the apps unlike Google. The drawback is you never know if theres malware hiden in the app/apks you download. So Im not saying, I recommend them but I am saying I use them. I prefer Aptoid.

Im pretty sure that would require rooting your device but try searching "XDA Gapps"..

 

[MrJavi]

u Is the app you need from PlayStore a split bundle distribution type? If so there is and app that will provide the fix if you cant get Google PS. Id post a link to YouTube video but it wouldn't be much use so you could start with NewPipe and search "ASI apk"

Iv never used Micro G but I havr used Gapps on a rooted S3 running CyanogenMod rom years ago.

I also advice using alternatives other than root. You could wind-up without your app and a bricked device aswell. Rooting is not for everyone. Good luck
