I selected this emulator from the newest version of Android Studio AVD.

I have selected the latest version of android API 23. Because it says 'with Google APIs', I thought that it would actually include all the Google apps, including Play Store so that I can install apps like Facebook.
I have seen other threads on SO which seems to be outdated now (How to install Google Play app in Android Studio emulator?), this one gives instructions for installing Google apps based on universal packages but it only goes up to Android 4.3 API 18: http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps#Universal_Packages_2
I would like the one for API 23. Is there a way to install the Google Apps package on the emulator?
It seems strange that the official android emulator doesn't come standard with all the google apps in the first place..This doesn't seem very supportive of google and would potential mean developers will have to buy actual devices to develop for API 23?
I've had to do this recently on the API 23 emulator, and followed this guide. It works for API 23 emulator, so you shouldn't have a problem.

Download the GAPPS Package
Next we need to pull down the appropriate Google Apps package that matches our Android AVD version. In this case we’ll be using the 'gapps-lp-20141109-signed.zip' package. You can download that file from BasketBuild here.
In order to install Google Play, we’ll need to push the following 4 APKs to our AVD (located in ./system/priv-app/):
GmsCore.apk, GoogleServicesFramework.apk, GoogleLoginService.apk, Phonesky.apk
Push APKs to the Emulator
With our APKs extracted, let’s launch our AVD using the following command.
This may take several minutes the first time as the AVD is created. Once started, we need to remount the AVDs system partition as read/write so that we can push our packages onto the device.
Next, push the APKs to our AVD:
Profit!
And finally, reboot the emualator using the following commands:
Once the emulator restarts, we should see the Google Play package appear within the menu launcher. After associating a Google account with this AVD we now have a fully working version of Google Play running under our emulator.
Below is the method that worked for me on API 23-25 emulators. The explanation is provided for API 24 but works almost identically for other versions.

Warm advice for readers: please just go over the steps before following them, as some are automated via provided scripts.
In the AVD manager of Android studio (tested on v2.2.3), create a new emulator with the 'Android 7.0 (Google APIs)' target:
Download the latest Open GApps package for the emulator's architecture (CPU/ABI). In my case it was x86_64, but it can be something else depending on your choice of image during the device creation wizard. Interestingly, the architecture seems more important than the correct Android version (i.e. gapps for 6.0 also work on a 7.0 emulator).
Extract the .apk files using from the following paths (relative to open_gapps-x86_64-7.0-pico-201#####.zip):
Note that Open GApps use the Lzip compression, which can be opened using either the tool found on the Lzip website1,2, or on Mac using homebrew: brew install lzip. Then e.g. lzip -d gmscore-x86_64.tar.lz.
I'm providing a batch file that utilizes 7z.exe and lzip.exe to extract all required .apks automatically (on Windows):
To use this, save the script in a file (e.g. unzip_gapps.bat) and put everything relevant in one folder, as demonstrated below:
Update the su binary to be able to modify the permissions of the files we will later upload. A new su binary can be found in the SuperSU by Chainfire package 'Recovery flashable' zip. Get the zip, extract it somewhere, create the a batch file with the following contents in the same folder, and finally run it:
Put all .apk files in one folder and create a batch file with these contents3:
Notice that the path E:..android-sdktoolsemulator.exe should be modified according to the location of the Android SDK on your system.
Execute the above batch file (the console should look like this afterwards):
When the emulator loads - close it, delete the Virtual Device and then create another one using the same system image. This fixes the unresponsive Play Store app, 'Google Play Services has stopped' and similar problems. It works because in the earlier steps we have actually modified the system image itself (take a look at the Date modified on android-sdksystem-imagesandroid-24google_apisx86_64system.img). This means that every device created from now on with the system image will have gapps installed!
Start the new AVD. If it takes unusually long to load, close it and instead start it using:
After the AVD starts you will see the image below - notice the Play Store icon in the corner!
3 - I'm not sure all of these commands are needed, and perhaps some of them are overkill.. it seems to work - which is what counts. :)
Now there's no need to side load any packages of execute any scripts to get the Play Store on the emulator. Starting from Android Studio 2.4 now you can create an AVD that has Play Store pre-installed on it. Currently it is supported only on the AVDs running Android 7.0 (API 24) system images.
Note: Compatible devices are denoted by the new Play Store column.
Prerak SolaPrerak SolaWanted to comment on the last answer, but without login it’s only possible to make an answer:
To get rid of the 'read only error' just stop the device immediately after it’s ready. My script looks as follows:
Go to http://opengapps.org/ and download the pico version of your platform and android version. Unzip the downloaded folder to get
1. GmsCore.apk
2. GoogleServicesFramework.apk
3. GoogleLoginService.apk
4. Phonesky.apk
Then, locate your emulator.exe. You will probably find it in
C:Users<YOUR_USER_NAME>AppDataLocalAndroidsdktools
Run the command:
emulator -avd <YOUR_EMULATOR'S_NAME> -netdelay none -netspeed full -no-boot-anim -writable-system
Note: Use -writable-system to start your emulator with writable system image.
Then,
adb root
adb remount
adb push <PATH_TO GmsCore.apk> /system/priv-app
adb push <PATH_TO GoogleServicesFramework.apk> /system/priv-app
adb push <PATH_TO GoogleLoginService.apk> /system/priv-app
adb push <PATH_TO Phonesky.apk> /system/priv-app
Then, reboot the emulator
adb shell stop
adb shell start
To verify run,
adb shell pm list packages and you will find com.google.android.gms package for google
As of now, Installing the apks to the /system directory seems to be working using adb push command.
Some hidden service was automatically remounting the /system directory in read-only mode.
Any way I was able to install the Play store in a normal virtual-machine ( Ie, non-Google-Api virtual machine ) by simply mounting the system.img file from my OS and by copying over the files.
The APK files can be pulled from any real Android device running Google Apps by using adb pull command
[ To get the exact path of the apks, we can use command pm list packages -f inside the adb shell ]

This one did it for me.
IMPORTANT: in order to stop the app from crashing remember to grant google play services location permissions.
