How to use MobSF with Genymotion SaaS
Julien Maneyrol — 2025-04-14
In this tutorial, MobSF is assumed to be used from a physical local machine. For detailed information about MobSF, please refer to MobSF documentation.
Important: This tutorial requires modification to MobSF source code. It will not work with MobSF official docker image.
Prerequisite
- Setup gmsaas CLI
- Configure the path to your Android SDK
- Use the following command: <sdk_path> should point to the Android SDK installation directory, similar to the ANDROID_SDK_ROOT or deprecated ANDROID_HOME environment variables.
Configure authentication
- You will need a Genymotion SaaS API token for this step.
- If you haven’t created one yet, you can follow the steps from our on-line documentation.
- Next, use the following command:
- Alternatively, you can store the API Token in the environment variable: GENYMOTION_API_TOKEN
Verify gmsaas configuration
- Run the command: If the command returns “Authentication OK” and “Android SDK OK”, you are all set with gmsaas!
Connect an instance to ADB
- Start your instance.
- When it is in “Running” state, copy the instance UUID (you can get it from Genymotion SaaS UI dashboard, or with the gmsaas recipes list command), then use the following command: Replace <instance_uuid> with the instance UUID.
- The command returns to shell once ADB is connected.
- If the –adb-serial-port <PORT> option is set, the instance will be connected to ADB on localhost:<PORT>.
- Another method is to connect any running instances to ADB by combining this command with the –quiet or -q option and xargs:
- You can verify with the adb devices command; adb should now be connected to “localhost:XXXXX device”.
Configure MobSF
- Clone MobSF open-source code to your computer.
- Modify the code: Edit the Mobile-Security-Framework-MobSF/mobsf/DynamicAnalyzer/views/android/environment.py script and comment the following lines in def connect_n_mount(self). Save the script.
Install MobSF
- It is strongly recommended to use a Python Virtual Environment to install and use MobSF.
- In the Mobile-Security-Framework-MobSF folder, run the installation command.
Launch MobSF
- When done, run the launch command.
- Now, you can access MobSF by browsing to http://localhost:8000/.
- Log in and navigate to DYNAMIC ANALYSER; your Genymotion SaaS instance should appear as connected at localhost:XXXXX.
