Where to get Google Apps(playstore,gmail,youtube etc) Source Code

[ajaisingh]

Hi All

I am building android jelly bean for my development board,I need to build google store apps with this image,but through research i came to know that google apps source code is not open source. In that case is there any way to get the google app source code? Do i need to purchase google apps source code or i must have to use only google apps apks provided by google.


in the case if i have to use google apps apk only than what all licensing criteria i have to follow?



please suggest me a option to come out from this problem
Thanks you all in advance
Regards Ajai

Welcome to the forums!

So far as I know, and I'm not 100% sure, Google won't let you distribute such an image.

Others however provide those by having a separate gapps installation that accompanies their image with the Google apps.

I'll let others more knowledgeable say more, meanwhile, try a search on gapps, that may be helpful as well.
