I just want to know that if U can provide the android hosted on your cloud and I have full control?
❌ We don’t expose a single “Android ADB URL” you can just paste into a browser or script.
Instead, for Genymotion SaaS the cloud‑hosted virtual device is accessed through the gmsaas CLI (or SDK integration) using an API token. The CLI internally opens a standard ADB port on the device and lets you run automation commands or connect tools like Appium, UIAutomator, or pure adb shell commands.

How it works
| Step | What you do | Result |
|------|-------------|--------|
| 1 | Create a Genymotion SaaS account (or use an existing one). | You get an API key and the gmsaas command‑line tool. |
| 2 | Install the Android SDK / platform‑tools on your workstation. | adb binary is available locally. |
| 3 | Authenticate: gmsaas login --token <YOUR_TOKEN> | CLI is authenticated with Genymotion SaaS. |
| 4 | Start a virtual device: gmsaas devices create --image android-14 --size 4GB | A cloud VM boots and an ADB port (usually 5555) is opened. |
| 5 | Attach ADB: gmsaas devices connect <DEVICE_ID> | The CLI forwards the remote port to your local adb. You can now run adb devices, adb shell, etc., as if the device were local. |

What you can do with that connection
- Run scripts:
adb shell <command>oradb install <apk> - Use Appium / UIAutomator: point the driver to
http://localhost:5555 - Debug / logcat:
adb logcat - Capture screenshots:
adb exec-out screencap -p > screen.png

Quick example (Linux/macOS)
# 1. Install gmsaas (Node.js is required)
npm i -g gmsaas-cli
# 2. Log in
gmsaas login --token abcdef123456
# 3. Create a device
DEVICE_ID=$(gmsaas devices create --image android-15 --size 4GB --format json | jq -r '.id')
# 4. Connect via ADB
gmsaas devices connect $DEVICE_ID
# 5. Verify connection
adb devices
# Should list something like: 192.168.56.101:5555 device

Need more help?
- Which OS are you using? (Windows, macOS, Linux)
- Which automation framework? (Appium, UIAutomator, pure adb)
- Do you already have a Genymotion SaaS account? If not, we can walk you through signing up and getting an API token.
Feel free to let me know, and I’ll give you the exact commands or screenshots for your environment! 🚀
