Does the emulator work with the latest Mac OS?

Topic: System Requirements & Compatibility

Last verified against genymotion.com:

Yes – Genymotion Desktop runs on all current macOS versions, including macOS 14 "Sonoma".

  • Native Support for Apple Silicon: For M-Series Macs (M1, M2, M3 etc.) Genymotion provides native ARM64 images, so Android apps run without emulation translation.
  • Operating System Compatibility: Genymotion Desktop is available for macOS, Windows 10/11 and Linux.
  • Current Android Versions: In the last release (v3.8.0 – 2024-10) the emulators support Android 12.0 +; older Android versions (5.0-15.0) are also available.
  • Important: Windows 7 is no longer supported by Genymotion; the Desktop version requires at least Windows 10 or macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or later.

If you use a Mac with the latest macOS, Genymotion Desktop can be installed to test or develop Android apps.

Recommended Steps:

1. Download the current Desktop version from the Genymotion website. 2. Choose "Apple Silicon" during installation (if you have an M-Series chip). 3. Create a new virtual Android device or use one of the pre-configured VMs.
