Where can I find a complete ARM-based Android guide for Genymotion?

• Start with ARM64 in Genymotion SaaS:
• Genymotion SaaS now primarily supports ARM64. When you create or start a device, select an arm64-based virtual device image and an ARM64 Android OS recipe (e.g., Android 15 arm64). This ensures your tests run on ARM64 as required starting before the March 30, 2026 deadline.
• If you previously used x86 devices, recreate any custom setups, scripts, or automated recipes to use arm64 OS images.
• For CI/CD, ensure your pipelines start arm64 devices.

• Why move to ARM64:
• ARM64 devices provide higher fidelity and align with most production devices (ARM-based smartphones). This reduces architecture-related bugs and increases compatibility with Google Play requirements for arm64 apps.

• What to update in your workflow:
• Recompile native code (C/C++) for arm64-v8a if your app uses native modules.
• Rebuild or adapt any automated recipes, tests, or device provisioning scripts to select and deploy ARM64 images.
• If you rely on GPU acceleration, you can request GPU-accelerated ARM64 devices as needed.

• Important dates:
• March 30, 2026: Creation and startup of x86-based devices will be restricted; arm64 becomes the standard.

• Getting started in practice:
• Log in to Genymotion SaaS.
• Create or start a device using an arm64-based image (arm64-v8a).
• Run your app and CI tests on the ARM64 device.
• If you encounter a mismatch with a legacy workflow, migrate the workflow to an arm64 image and validate end-to-end.

• Additional context:
• Genymotion publicly announced ARM64 devices as production-ready, with faster boot/save times and ARM64-specific optimization. GPU-accelerated ARM64 devices are available on demand for graphically demanding apps.
• If you must run on desktop or need a cross-check, you can still use Genymotion Desktop for local ARM64 workflows on supported hosts; for x86-only paths, migrate to SaaS ARM64 images.
