How to connect Genymotion SaaS cloud virtual device to ADB from Windows — configure Android SDK path, download platform-tools and use gmsaas CLIHow to connect Genymotion SaaS cloud virtual device to ADB from Windows — configure Android SDK path, download platform-tools and use gmsaas CLI

✅ YES — you can download the Android SDK (platform‑tools/adb) on Windows and use it to test apps with Genymotion SaaS by configuring the gmsaas CLI to point to your SDK and running gmsaas instances adbconnect <instance_uuid>. After connecting, verify with adb devices and then install/run your APK with normal ADB/IDE commands.

Steps (Windows):

  • Install Android SDK platform‑tools (download platform‑tools or install via Android Studio) and note the SDK root (e.g. C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk).
  • Install gmsaas: pip install gmsaas (use Python 3.8+).
  • Create a Genymotion SaaS API token in the SaaS portal and authenticate: gmsaas auth token <your_token>.
  • Configure the SDK path (absolute path required): gmsaas config set android-sdk-path "C:\path\to\Android\Sdk".
  • Start a SaaS device (via web UI) and get its UUID, then connect it to ADB: gmsaas instances adbconnect <instance_uuid> (optionally add --adb-serial-port PORT).
  • Verify connection: adb devices should list localhost:XXXXX device. Then use adb install <app.apk> or run from your IDE.
