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 “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.

New Android version

• Android 16.0 (beta) image has been released on Genymotion SaaS and Genymotion Device Image.

Known Issue

• Getting device ownership could fail on boot.

This could lead to some troubles in the kiosk setup process if a user is already logged in.
