Android 16.0 (beta) for Desktop

New Android version

• Android 16.0 (beta) image has been released on Genymotion Desktop.

Known Issue

• On-Screen Keyboard Trigger: Currently, the on-screen keyboard toggle button may not automatically appear when you click into a text input field. Workaround: If you require the soft keyboard, simply go to your device configuration and manually enable the “Use virtual keyboard for text input” option. This ensures the keyboard appears whenever you need it.
• Quick Boot Consistency: In specific circumstances, the Quick Boot feature may fail to initialize properly, resulting in a crash of the emulator or the last Android app. Workaround: if you encounter this issue with your workflow, just disable quick boot in your device configuration.
