Here in this page, you can download essential Google Apps package including Play Store, Play Services, Account Manager, and Google Services Framework. The package is for ROM based on Android 8.0 / 8.1 Oreo (the MIUI 9 for example). The package has been tested to work perfectly on Mi 6 running MIUI 9 China Stable build.
As you may also have noticed that some of the Android devices do not come with Google Play pre-installed. Especially those released in China. Let’s take Xiaomi phones for example. Several variants of the phone are released in two editions: the International edition with MIUI Global build and the China edition with MIUI China build. However, the MIUI China build doesn’t have Google Play and any other Google apps installed due to some reasons. Moreover, several custom Android ROMs also don’t have Play Store installed and hence third-party installation is needed.
There are some Gapps packages like Opengapps.org that offers a full package of Google Apps from the most fundamental ones (such as Play Store app) to the most not so fundamental (such as Google Duo). However, the only drawback of such package is the need of using custom recovery like TWRP.
Previously, we have shared the install-able APK files of Gapps containing the most basic apps to setup Google Account and Play Store on a device running Nougat-based Android ROM. This time, it is the similar one but this one is for devices running Oreo-based ROM.
