Which version of Android is recommended for use with Genymotion?
Which Android works well with Genymotion?
For an optimal experience, use the latest available Android images in your version of Genymotion Desktop or SaaS. Here's what's currently recommended:
- Android 14: final image available for Genymotion Desktop and Genymotion SaaS (paid license required). This is the latest and most stable version for most modern scenarios. References: Android 14 image for Genymotion Desktop and Android 14 image for Genymotion SaaS (versions and release notes).
- Sources: Genymotion Desktop 3.7.0 and Android 14 image for Desktop; Android 14 image for Genymotion SaaS.
- Note: The Android 14 image is available via Desktop/SaaS channels and requires a paid license on certain clouds.
- Android 13 and intermediate versions: recent versions of Genymotion Device Images v13.x/v14.x include BLEU and relevant improvements and can be used if Android 14 is not desired or available according to your portal (AWS/Azure/GCP).
- Source of updates and versions: Genymotion Device Image v13.2 and associated updates in product release articles.
- Important: Genymotion does not offer old versions directly; you must stay on active builds and images to ensure compatibility with modern Android images. Android 14 images are the latest and most compatible with current templates, especially on Desktop and SaaS.
- Source: article indicating that old versions of Genymotion Desktop are not provided and that modern images are added regularly (versions before 3.7.0 incompatible with current Android images).
If you have already found A10 but it "does not work well," it may be preferable to use a more recent image (Android 13 or 14) if your use case allows it, to get better performance and compatibility.

Would you like me to guide you in finding and launching an Android 13 or 14 image adapted to your version of Genymotion (Desktop or SaaS) and your system (Windows/macOS/Linux)?
A small question to better help me: are you using Genymotion Desktop or Genymotion SaaS, and on what operating system are you working?
