Help Clash of clans bluestack in-app purchase

[Android Question]

I am on blue stack trying to make an in game purchase in clash of clans and it says "Purchase unavailable! Google play store app needs to be updated"

how do I update it?

I'm unsure, but I'd say you should find the latest .apk of the Play Store and manually install from there. Maybe that'll fix the problem?

Yeh, could try installing the latest Play Store apk manually. But I'm not sure if it supports in-app purchases with an emulated environment, that isn't actually Android.

Technically, it is Android, it's just run by a virtual machine.

There shouldn't be anything wrong with purchasing within an emulator, since Android is an open-source software and available to everyone. It's like Google saying, "Android is free, you just can't buy anything."

Android is indeed free and open source, but Google Mobile Services are not, they're very much proprietary and copyright, all rights reserved.

What I think it is, you can run apps and games but you can't buy anything unless it's a Google approved device or environment for Google Mobile Services, GMS. It's a big problem for Android devices here in China.
