How to connect to a Genymotion Desktop virtual device remotely with ADB?
Windows / Linux
- On Linux, this method will only work with VirtualBox Hypervisor.
- Set your virtual device Network mode to Bridged. See Configuring a Virtual Device.
- Retrieve the virtual device IP address. It is displayed on top of the virtual device window:
- From another computer, open a command prompt and run
adb connect <virtual_device_IP>:5555
MacOS
- VirtualBox hypervisor is not available on mac M series and the "Bridged Network" mode has not been implemented yet.
- However, it is possible to forward TCP port using socat tool:
- Install socat:
brew install socat
- Forward your host computer local port 6555 to 127.0.0.1:6555 :
socat TCP-LISTEN:6555,bind=<your-host-computer-ip>,fork TCP:127.0.0.1:6555
- From another computer, connect adb with your host computer port 6555:
adb <your-host-computer-ip>:6555
