Install the Play Store
With all the downloaded APK files to your Amazon Fire Tablet, we can begin installing them one by one. Open the “Files” app from the home screen.
Select “Downloads” from the side menu and switch to the list view for the files. You should see the four files we just downloaded.
It’s important to install these APKs in a specific order. For each APK, follow this process: Tap the file > select “Continue” > tap the “Install” button. After it installs, tap “Done.” Don’t open the Play Store yet.
Install the files in this order (the file names on your device will be longer):
- com.google.android.gsf.login
- com.google.android.gsf
- com.google.android.gms
- com.android.vending
With all the APKs installed, it’s time to reboot the tablet. Hold down the power button and select “Restart.”
After the tablet restarts, you’ll see the Play Store on the home screen. Open it and sign in with your Google account.
Once you’re signed in, you’ll have a functional Google Play Store, just like on any other Android device. Go forth and download YouTube, Gmail, and any other app you can’t find in the Amazon Appstore.
You may experience some problems when trying to use the Play Store right away. The Play Store and Google Play Services will automatically update themselves in the background, so just give it some time. This may take as much as ten minutes.
