Google Apps or GApps for Android 14 is needed to be installed separately after flashing or installing an Android 14 custom ROM.
Google Apps such as, GMail, Google Maps, Google Management Service etc. are developed by Google that is why these are not included on a custom ROM build due to copyright reasons. This article lists all available GApps for Android 14 based custom ROMs such as: AOSP Android 14, LineageOS 21 etc.
These Android 14 GApps file comes in a .zip file package which can be installed via a TWRP recovery or any other custom recovery.
