I am having an issue while adding the instance with adb device?

Here’s how to connect a Genymotion SaaS virtual device to ADB and troubleshoot common issues:

• Prerequisites
• Make sure you’re using Genymotion SaaS with the gmsaas CLI tool installed.
• Have a Genymotion SaaS account and be authenticated (via API token as required by gmsaas).
• Step-by-step

1) Install and set up gmsaas

• Follow the gmsaas tool user guide to install and configure it on your machine.

2) Authenticate

• Run: gmsaas auth login <your account email> (per the official guide)

3) Start the device(s)

• Launch the Genymotion SaaS VM(s) you want to work with.

4) Connect to ADB

• Use the ADB connect command:
• gmsaas instances adbconnect [--adb-serial-port PORT] <instance_uuid>
• After a successful connection, run:
• adb devices
• You should see something like:
• localhost:[PORT] (one entry per connected device)
• Common issues and fixes
• Adb tunnel communication failure
• This usually means the SDK path isn’t set correctly. Ensure your Android SDK is installed and that your PATH/ANDROID_HOME are configured so adb can run.

One quick follow-up to help us tailor the fix: are you running Genymotion SaaS from the desktop app or directly via a cloud-based workflow, and which OS are you on (Windows, macOS, or Linux)? 🚀

Notes:

• Genymotion currently supports Genymotion SaaS and Desktop; ensure you’re using the latest release and not Windows 7 (which is not supported) if you’re on Windows. For compatibility details, see our Desktop User Guide sources linked above. 🖥️💡
