What should I do after adding a device in Genymotion?

1. Open Genymotion Desktop

• After installation, launch the app (Windows: Genymotion, macOS: Genymotion.app).

2. Sign‑in

• Enter your Genymotion account credentials. If you don’t have one, create a free account on the login page.

3. Go to the “Device Library”

• The main window shows a list of available Android images.
• If you don’t see any, click + Add Device (or the “+” icon) on the left pane.

4. Choose a device image

• Pick a brand/model or a custom image.
• Click Download. Genymotion will pull the Android image from the cloud and store it locally.

5. Create a virtual device

• After download, a new entry appears.
• Click Launch or Open to create the device.
• In the wizard, you can:
• Name the virtual device.
• Select Android version (5.0 to 15.0).
• Optionally, enable Advanced settings (RAM, resolution, GPU, sensors).

6. Start the device

• Click the green Play button next to the device name.
• The virtual Android will boot in a separate window.
• You can now install apps, run tests, or debug.

7. (Optional) Add Google Play Services

• Genymotion devices don’t include Play Store by default.
• Download the OpenGApps package from the Genymotion Docs and install it via the adb command:

     adb install open_gapps‑<version>.zip
     

• Multiple devices: You can add and run several virtual devices simultaneously.
• Custom devices: Use the “Create custom virtual device” option to mimic a specific hardware profile.
• Performance: Ensure your system meets the minimum requirements (64‑bit CPU, 16 GB RAM, GPU with OpenGL 3.3+).
• Cloud option: If you prefer not to run locally, consider Genymotion for Cloud Providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) for scalable virtual devices.
