I installed the 10.1-20130812-Nightly-ovation as outlined in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317500 on my Nook HD+ tablet.
I only see the Google Play besides the stock Android apps. None of the gapps are installed (gmail, youtube, googlemap). If I try to install them and some other third party apps form the google play, I get the "Package file is invalid" error message. I can install apps like netflix, google maps, Vevo and such. so the problem is not isolated to just gapps but majority of the gapps aren't installing.
And yes I did clear the cache and such. I even completely wiped and reinstalled everything with no avail. Same problem! I would appreciate your help.
Known issue with the Play Store at the moment http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...-when-installing-or-updating-apps-no-fix-yet/
Has anyone tried an older CM build? My wife had a build from June and her play store was working ok, although the package file error seems to happen after downloading a lot for me whenever I reload.

I've gotten my Kfire worked out pretty well and everything works as it should except one glaring problem:
Every rom I try based on 5.1 Lollipop is unable to install the Google Play Games app from the Google Play Store or by means of apk. The "Unkown Error" it gives is "Error -505".
I've been looking all over the internet over the course of a few weeks and I can't find a working answer anywhere. The closest I could find was that in 5.0 some adobe air based apps would give you a -505 and clearing your Google Play Services cache or updating your rom would fix it.
Right now I'm using the last available nightly of CM11, but I would like to continue using the current nightlies of CM12. Seeing as how I have this tablet to play Android games, it's very important I find a fix for this.
Solution
Installing from the store will not work. Neither will installing from adb command line or installing an apk file.
I ended up selecting a gapps package that contained Google Play Apps in it.
I prefer a slim package, so I used the aroma graphical installer to only install the ones I wanted.

Can Google Play Games be installed on it's own from that package or would the entire gapps package need to be flashed? Additionally, any know issues with the latest CM12.1 nightly?

Yes. That's what I did. I already had the apps I wanted installed so I only selected the Google Play Games app from the package. It's all graphical so it's easy to use. You can also use that package to remove default rom apps and bloatware.
I had no problems with the most recent CM12.1 nightly but I didn't test extensively before switching to SlimLP (for preference).

Perfect. New to this moding stuff and was about to give it up. My KF now has life
Many thanks!
I've installed lollipop using TWRP and recovering a backup, and everything seems to be fine, except for the fact that now I can't install apps, neither from apks, Google play, can't even update them. When I do from apk it simply says "application not installed" and from Google play it gives an error 504,which you usually fix deleting the apps data and cache, and Google services's too, but that doesn't work.
I was able to do it at first, after I made it 5.0.2,installed all my previous apps, updated the old ones, except Chrome that never allowed me to update it. But now I can't install or update any app. Any idea what could it be?
I thought it may be related to writing permissions but if that was the case I'd have had he problem right from the beginning.
Could it be a problem with the version of Android I installed itself? I mean I could flash apps in, but not install them in the usual ways.
Tried asking this in the newbie Q&A, but no response.
I have updated my Fire 2015 tablets with the custom ROM CM12 (from 5.01). My sincere gratitude to GGOW and those involved.
The problem arises when I try to sign-in to my game (Clash of Clans). It states I requires an update to Google Play Games. The tablet downloads the update but then returns the message: Can’t Install App.
I have installed supersu# and according to Root Check the tablet is currently rooted. Per suggestions I found in this forum, I tried to install an older version of Google Play services using the apk from APK Mirror. I downloaded it to the SD card and tried to use the CM FileManager to run. I granted all the permissions it asks for but it states “App not installed”. The same occurred when I tried to install Google Calendar. It seems that other non-Google apps install just fine.
I am admittedly very new to the Android scene (we all have to start somewhere). Is there some method I can use to uninstall the version of Google Play services on my tablet and reinstall? I appreciate any suggestions.
I ran into a problem when i didn't have Google play games installed, trying to install play games from the play store would result in a fail so i installed an older version , try searching "com.google.android.play.games-2.2.09" they should be dated 28 Jan 2015 they should then update from the play store fine, it seems there's a couple of apps that we have to install older versions first but they update ok.
I have downloaded Google Play Games from an apkmirror and problem solved

Best solution
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-games/
Google Play Games 3.5.17 (2463965-070) (x86) (nodpi)
Download the APK
put in a folder call it "GooglePlayGames" or whatever you want
Copy it to system/app/
Change permissions to one match of the other system apps so they are the same permissions on the folder and apk
Reboot and google play games will be installed

Thanks Ownster i was looking for that
Thank you Ownster! It worked perfectly - still not fully sure why - but I am very appreciative.
Anyone else getting these types of errors or know a fix? I just updated my Play Store to 6.2.13.A-all [0] 2655766 but was still getting these errors on the previous version.
The first picture below is an attempt to update an already installed app, Ultimate Guitar Tabs & Chords. The second picture is an attempt to install a new app to my device, Stack.
These errors occur sometimes on other app installations and updates, not just these two. The troubleshoot link option provides no solutions. I've already tried clearing all Play Store data and cache, wiped the cache from my recovery, and ran CCleaner. Uninstalling updates fixes the issue but the Play Store automatically updates to the latest version. I want to run the latest version anyways. Anyone else run across this issue?

try clearing all app data from play store and google play frameworks. This was happening to my phone, but a clean flash fixed it

Didn't work.
Try this I suppose
Happening to me now. Seems to only affect the apps that I've moved to the SD card. Uninstalled the updates to Google Play Store and cleared the data and cache without success.
Unmount the sd card before installing or updating the app that causes the error
Device:
G6 Ali with OPS27.104-15-10 rooted following the instructions here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g6/how-to/guide-twrp-root-magisk-installation-t3816569
The cause of the problem:
I backed up, uninstalled, then reinstalled Play Store and froze Play Services briefly in Titanium backup while trying to install the modded Google Play Store from a certain (apparently banned here) "warez" app, LP. The install never went through. It failed both trying to "update" Play store and when I backed up and removed Play Store with Titanium Backup. After it failed I re-installed my backup of Play Store.
The problem:
Many apps force close upon refresh/first open. Also, certain apps complain because Systemwebview isn't installed even though Google Play says it is. Google Play Store itself appears to be fine and can uninstall/re-install apps without issue.
My attempts so far:
factory reset(both from the settings menu and from TWRP) - This resulted in a fresh install with no ability to sign into Google Play store. I got a black screen instead of a login screen, regardless of whether I did it during initial setup or after. I ended up reverting to a backup I made with only the issues listed above because at least it kind of works.
reflashing OpenGapps
re-installing SystemWebView and affected apps in the Play store
Using Titanium Backup to clear cache and data from Play, Play services, Webview, and any affected apps.
My next move:
I was thinking I might try fastboot flashing the stock firmware, but the one here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g6/development/stock-firmware-moto-g6-t3792292
does not match the build number of my phone and the other stock firmware thread doesn't list a build number at all.
What am I missing here?

Flash stock and never ever use that modded things again, and never mention them again on XDA, any discution of the app you mention is against the XDA rules.
Thank you for that information. I have edited my OP to remove direct mention/link of said warez app, though it still exists in the quoted text from AleSebEri.
Does it matter that the build number in the stock firmware thread I linked is different than mine? Mine is OPS27.104-15-10, the linked one is OPS27.82-72.
------------------------------------------------------Edited to add------------Problem Solved------------------
For anyone reading this in the future facing similar issues, no, it does not matter if the build number is the same. Flashing the factory files from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g6/development/stock-firmware-moto-g6-t3792292
solved my issue. Thank you for your assistance, AleSebEri
