Does the emulator work with the latest Mac OS?
Does the Genymotion Emulator work with the latest macOS?
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, you can easily install Genymotion Desktop and 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.
