THREAD UPDATE 17 JANUARY 2018 - I am closing this thread for various reasons, primarily due to the fact that I can no longer update the thread title on my own and need a mod's help for each update. There is also significantly less of a need for this thread as a mirror; I started the thread 5 years ago, long before existed, but that site has since become a one-stop shop for any and all APK's.
I encourage you to visit them for. An updated version of Google's Play Store is now available, version 8.7.10-all. The new APK is linked below; it is not themed or modified in any way. It should work on any version of Android in any part of the world. The attached APK is installable just like any side-loaded APK.
Or if you are rooted, you can move the APK to the appropriate /system folder manually or with a flashable zip to replace your existing Play Store (Phonesky.apk or Vending.apk). DOWNLOAD Now more than 1,000,000 total downloads since the thread opened, I'm done counting NB: Just to ease everyone's mind, don't be alarmed by the posts directly below this. @ and I were trying to figure out some of the new folders and permissions when version 3.10.9 was released and before it hit the mainstream, but that has since been by Android Police. Yes, I see that now also, there is a new permission for using GPS location. I don't see a lot of folders or anything with JP. Screenshot here shows the whole contents of the 'org' folder, the only folder path is ' org keyczar i18n' and then you can see the 5 files contained there.
I've seen a few other people in other phones' sub-forums posting that they also received this update today, so I am curious as to why Play Store now requires GPS access but not really suspicious. Hopefully we will get an explanation from Google soon!
Download the APK of latest Google Play app from this page. Google keeps releasing a new version of the Play Store APK every now and then. These days we’re seeing the search engine giant bring updates of the Play Store app faster than ever. We’ve provided a list of latest versions of the Google Play app, along with a link to their APK files so that you could download them right away. Once you have the APK downloaded, install it easily using any file manager app.
Simply clicking on the downloaded file would begin the installation, but you may have to enable the ‘Unknown sources’ installation in the Settings first. In the recent updates, Google has introduced a lot of new features. We’re liking the new card widget at the top of the search results which lets you install the app directly from there. Google has experimented with the screenshots appearance in that widget too, but it looks settled now that you won’t get to see screenshots there, which is a better decision in our books. Google has announced the Google Play Instant feature now, that lets you play apps and games without even installing them on your device. In case you spot a new feature in Google Play, sure tell us via the comments section below, or through our contact us page at the bottom. Check out the screenshots below.
There’s one more change: a new interface for the ‘developer contact’ info, which is now hidden by default, under a drop-down. This is also a good one. Besides that, Google has removed the app’s video from the top, to put it with other screenshots.
So, right at the top, you don’t see the video now, but just the app’s icon, name, its category, and badges like Editor’s Choice, ranking in top sections, etc. We don’t think it has got anything to do with the latest Play Store APK, v9.5.09, but yes, installing one of the latest versions of the apps help a lot in getting to see the newer UI interfaces Google keeps testing on the Play Store. Update March 21, 2018: Google has released a new epic feature on the Play Store now. Dubbed as, you can now try the compatible apps and games without having to first download them. You can check for the new Games available under the ‘Google Play Instant’ under the Arcade section of the Play Games app.
Check it out in the video below.
