Genymotion Desktop 3.1.1 beta 1 (June 11, 2020)

Genymotion Desktop

Genymotion Desktop now supports VirtualBox 6.1 on Windows. This was a long-standing issue but a workaround for the problems we encountered with VirtualBox 6.1 host-only interfaces on Windows has been found. We also fixed an issue with heterogeneous-density multi-screen setups: rotating the device would cause the display to be zoomed. On Linux, new devices are now configured to use PulseAudio, improving sound support. Using the mouse wheel on high-precision touchpads such as Macbook touchpads or Magic Mouse no longer causes super-fast and jittery scrolling. The “rotation setangle” Genyshell command behavior was surprising: the new accelerometer value was correctly sent but the display would not rotate. Now the display rotates whenever the accelerometer value changes, as you would expect. This also applies to the remote-control feature. Finally, we added support for Socks5 proxies.

Genymotion Desktop 3.1.0 (April 7, 2020)

Genymotion Desktop

Forewords We released 3 public beta versions of Genymotion Desktop 3.1.0, and we want to thank all our beta testers for their feedback. They greatly helped improve and make this upgrade even more stable.

Improved performances This version brings a large number of updates to our rendering stack, improving performances with the latest versions of Android, especially on macOS.

Rewritten camera widget Version 3.1.0 comes with a rewrite of our camera support and a simplified widget. This rewrite offers better performance and fixes the camera on macOS Catalina.

Speaking of macOS Catalina, Genymotion Desktop now supports the new macOS permission system: virtual devices ask for permissions to use the camera and microphone in a timely fashion, and detect when permissions are being granted while running.

User interface improvements

The installation of virtual devices has been moved to a separate wizard, accessible through the new “+” floating action button sitting above the virtual device list. This brings a tidier, cleaner look and highly reduces CPU usage of the application.

The user interface received lots of small touch-ups:

Removals This version removes support for the “–cloud” option of gmtool. It has been superseded by our new gmsaas tool. This version also removes support for Android versions older than 4.4.

Genymotion Desktop 3.1.0 beta 3 (March 17, 2020)

Genymotion Desktop

This new beta fixes an annoying bug preventing dragging the screen right edge of the device after a rotation. We nailed the last bug regarding macOS permissions to access the camera and the microphone. Virtual devices now ask for permissions in a timely fashion, no longer crash when permissions are not granted and detect when permissions are being granted while running. We also improved startup responsiveness: when starting a device from the Device Manager window, its icon now switches to a spinner without any delay, as it should. Apart from these, other minor fixes have been done like some icon adjustments or a new icon for the DMG on macOS.

Genymotion Desktop 3.1.0 beta 2 (March 3rd, 2020)

Genymotion Desktop

New install wizard The installation of virtual devices has been moved to a separate wizard, accessible through the new floating action button sitting above the virtual device list. This brings a tidier, cleaner look and improves performances of the application.

Always visible navigation buttons Following up on the feedback we received from beta 1 users on the device window toolbar, we made the navigation buttons at the bottom of the toolbar (Back, Home, Overview and Menu) always visible, even if there is not enough room for all buttons.

Improved titles for the device window and its widgets The title of the device window is now more useful, giving you individual information (IP, device name) about the device first. We also removed the duplicated title from widgets, making them smaller and cleaner.

Others

This new beta version also comes with a bunch of fixes and improvements, such as:

Genymotion Desktop 3.1.0 beta 1 (February 11, 2020)

Genymotion Desktop

This version brings a large update to our rendering stack, improving performances with the latest versions of Android, especially on macOS.

It also comes with a rewrite of our camera support and a simplified camera widget. This rewrite yields better performance and makes the camera work again on macOS Catalina.

The user interface has received lots of small touch-ups, with more important changes expected to land for 3.1.0:
