✅ YES — you can download the Android SDK (platform-tools/ADB) and use it to test apps with Genymotion Desktop or Genymotion SaaS by configuring Genymotion to use the same ADB binary. Configure the Android SDK path in gmsaas for SaaS or set Genymotion Desktop to use your SDK’s adb, then connect a running virtual device and push/run your APK via adb install or your IDE.

Supporting steps and notes:

  • Install Android SDK platform-tools (includes adb) on your machine and note the SDK path. See Genymotion SaaS instructions to configure the SDK path in the CLI with gmsaas config set android-sdk-path <sdk_path> and verify with gmsaas doctor .
  • For Genymotion Desktop, set Genymotion to use the same adb as your IDE so Android Studio or the Genymotion plugin can push/run apps; the plugin documentation explains using ADB and running apps from the IDE .
  • For PaaS/Device Image and cloud instances, ensure network/firewall or gmsaas tunnel rules allow ADB connections and follow the instance-to-IDE connection steps so adb devices shows your virtual device .

Do you want instructions for Genymotion Desktop (local) or Genymotion SaaS (cloud), and which OS are you on?
