Actually I needed the android Adb url to run automations?
**"Android ADB URL for running automations"**
❌ There isn’t a direct “ADB URL” you connect to for Genymotion automations. For Genymotion SaaS, ADB access is established via the gmsaas CLI using an API token, not a URL. Here’s how it works and how you can set it up.
What you actually use
- Genymotion SaaS: Use the gmsaas command-line tool to connect to a running virtual device via ADB. You must authenticate with an API token and configure the Android SDK path on your machine.
- You don’t connect with a simple URL; you authenticate and then attach ADB through the gmsaas workflow.

- For ADB usage concepts in Genymotion Desktop (useful if you’re cross-referencing), you can review related ADB tips in Genymotion documentation:

If you are using Genymotion Desktop or Device Images, the ADB workflow may differ slightly (e.g., desktop vs SaaS), but the SaaS path specifically uses gmsaas with an API token for ADB access.
Next steps
- Tell me which product you’re using: Genymotion SaaS, Genymotion Desktop, or Genymotion Cloud Provider.
- Do you already have an API token and the gmsaas CLI installed? If not, I can walk you through generating the token and configuring the CLI.
- What automation framework or script are you planning to run via ADB (e.g., adb shell commands, UIAutomator, Appium)?
Follow-up question
- What’s your development environment (OS and whether you’re targeting Genymotion SaaS or Desktop) so I can tailor the exact commands for you? 🚀
