How to Create a New Virtual Device in Genymotion

Brief Answer — Main Steps: 1. In Genymotion Desktop: Open the Device Manager and click on the (+ Create) button. 2. Select the desired hardware profile and Android version. 3. Follow the installation wizard and click on Install. 4. For cloud devices (Genymotion SaaS): In the CLOUD tab, click on CREATE or GET STARTED (if you haven't logged in) and follow the online manual to launch an instance.

Important Details and Tips:

• In Desktop, if you don't see an Android version (e.g. Android 16), use the option to show more versions in the wizard list.
• If creation fails: Check available disk space and ensure your network/firewall allows outgoing connections to Genymotion domains (ports 80 and 443). Also, make sure to use the latest version of Genymotion Desktop (recent versions have corrections).
• To integrate with Android Studio, use the Genymotion plugin; from its window, you can create new devices with the New button.
