Is applying Patch to Android even possible on an emulator?

Active 1 Reply 1.4K Views 2025-07-24 02:59:43 Questions
In the past few days, I've been trying to install the modded Google Play Store on an emulator.
Which seems to require Patch to Android to be true too.
However, when the emu reboots after installation as required, the patches are still not applied and the modded store is nowhere to be seen.
The emus are (I think) all properly rooted, and have Magisk Delta installed.
I've tried my best with Bluestacks 4 & 5 (which cant reboot for some reason), Nox with Android 9 & 12, and mumu 5.0.1, none works.
There must be something wrong or some vital components missing.
I'm trying to install LSPosed at the moment but it just makes the situation even more complicated.
So there seems no other choice but to ask for help :(
Have you ever succeeded on an emu? What may possibly have gong wrong?
Pls I'm out of ideas. Many thanks in advance!

P.S. The game I'm trying to crack is Air Combat Online (the Google Play ver)
With normal patches the game shows "IAPNotSupported" upon icon click in the store.
So I kinda think a modded play store is the only solution.
If you have any other ideas or experience in this situation pls let me know :)

You should select the checkbox to apply the patches via Magisk. If that still does not work, install ReZygisk, and select the checkbox to apply the patches via Zygisk. If that still does not work, install LSPosed and select the option to apply the patch via XPosed.
