I'm interested in using it on macOS.
**How to Install Genymotion Desktop on macOS?**
Here is a quick and direct guide for macOS:
- Key Requirements
- Compatibility: macOS Sonoma (14) or Sequoia (15). If you use a Mac with Apple Silicon (M), make sure Rosetta is enabled.
- Hypervisor: Genymotion Desktop uses the QEMU hypervisor by default on macOS. VirtualBox is not recommended and, if you already have it installed, it is not mandatory.
- Note: Genymotion Desktop works without additional software installation if it comes with its own hypervisor. If you decide to use VirtualBox, note that it is less compatible on macOS.
- Installation Steps
1) Download Genymotion Desktop for macOS from the official page.
2) Open the downloaded DMG package.
3) Drag Genymotion (and Genymotion Shell if it appears) to the Applications folder.
4) If requested, enable Rosetta on Macs with Apple Silicon and, if it appears, allow execution in Security and Privacy Preferences.
5) If you see a security message when launching Genymotion, restart your Mac.
6) (Optional) If you want to switch between QEMU and VirtualBox:
- Open Genymotion > Settings > Hypervisor and select QEMU (recommended) or VirtualBox.
- If you change, restart Genymotion to apply the change.
7) Launch Genymotion Desktop and create/login to your account to start creating virtual devices.
- Useful Notes
- VirtualBox is not included in the DMG and is only recommended if you already have a specific need.
- For macOS with Macs M (Apple Silicon): enable Rosetta if indicated; the emulator works with the embedded QEMU hypervisor.

**What type of Mac do you work on to adjust better? For example:**
- Mac with Intel
- Mac with Apple Silicon (M1/M2)
With that information, I will give you exact steps and any additional details you need.
P.S.: Do you want me to prepare a downloadable checklist with the steps for macOS?
