Genymotion Desktop 3.0.3 (October 8th, 2019)
- October 8, 2019
- Genymotion Desktop
We have updated the bundled adb to version 1.0.41.
- The stability when resuming from hibernation on Windows has been improved.
- Some error messages have been reworded to be less confusing.
Deprecation notice
Gmtool is going to be removed from the next feature version of Genymotion Desktop: 3.1.0. We encourage all gmtool users to switch to Genymotion Cloud SaaS for their continuous integration needs. Genymotion Cloud SaaS has its own tool to manage virtual devices: gmsaas. If you need any help to migrate, do not hesitate to contact us.
Genymotion Virtual Devices 2.14
- August 20, 2019
- Genymotion Desktop, Genymotion SaaS (Cloud)
New Genymotion Virtual Devices version 2.14 have been released. Those are the devices used by Genymotion Desktop and Genymotion Cloud SaaS.
What’s in the box?
This release includes the following changes:
- Keyboard composition has been fixed; you can now type symbols the way you are used to. For example, on most European keyboard layouts, press “Alt Gr” + “E” to get the Euro symbol.
- Improvements have been done to the overriding of build properties: it is now possible to override ro.vendor.build.fingerprint on Android 9.0 and we fixed a bug in device ID/IMEI overriding for Android 6.0 and later.
- Internet connectivity issues on Android 8.0 have been fixed.
- Searching for applications in Google Play works again.
- New, colorful wallpapers!
Deprecating older Android versions
We are deprecating Android 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 support. Genymotion Desktop 3.0 can create devices with those Android versions (using Genymotion Virtual Devices 2.13). But they won’t be available in Genymotion Desktop 3.1. If you rely on such devices, we recommend migrating your setup to at least Android 4.4.
Availability
These new devices are now available for Genymotion Desktop 3.0 users and Genymotion Cloud SaaS.

Genymotion Desktop 3.0.2 (April 18th, 2019)
Corrections
We have fixed an incompatibility with the adb tool bundled in the platform-tools 28.0.2 package of the Android SDK, which caused failures to start virtual devices.
This new version of adb changed the behavior of the “adb connect <device>:<port>” command by making the “port” part mandatory. This broke Genymotion Desktop in a few places where it did not pass the port. We have adjusted the way we call “adb connect” and also updated the version we ship with the product to match the one in platform-tools 28.0.2.
