Android Emulator without playstore on android studio 3.1 Latest release

Issue

I have updated my android studio 3.0.1 to 3.1 yesterday and i was trying to create AVD of nexus 5 & nexus 5X which default comes with playstore. I installed x86 system image of naugat Android 7.0(Google Apis) on it. When download completes and i boot my AVD then it contains some google apps (gmail,playmusic,playmovie) but doesn’t contain google play store or play services. Why it happens? In earlier version of android studio (e.g. 3.0.1) if i follow the same process then it creates AVD with playstore. Can anyone please tell me what’s going wrong in this?

Solution

I found a solution. I was selecting system image x86 android nougat 7.0(Google Apis) so, it was only including some google apps but it was not including google play store. I didn’t receive any perfect reply on stackoverflow after posting my question so, i report a bug from android studio (Help > Submit Feedback) and they gave me the perfect answer. I was selecting system image having google Apis but if i want to get play store installed on emulator i have to select system images having (google play).

I know it’s a silly mistake but no one have replied me with this answer so, i think i should have to post my answer so others can refer this and get help from it so, i have posted my answer.
