Genymotion Macos

In this blog, we will understand how to setup Genymotion Android Emulators.

Concept of Emulators is very good for some one who needs access to Android OS without worrying about hardware. But Google’s android emulators face some problems. Althogh it was claimed that with latest release there are significant improvements but its not true. Two main problems are:

Free to Mac OS X Genymotion (2.11.0) download in spanish. Android Studio com GenyMotion last Genymotion 10.12.2 spanish, get free Genymotion 2.11.0 torrent index 10.12.3 software filehippo, download Genymotion (2.11.0) to OS X El Capitan 10.11. Genymotion is a powerful and amazing software,Consider that it is free.
What is Genymotion for Mac Genymotion is an easy to use tool that can emulate different Android devices for your development and testing needs.
System Requirements. Microsoft Windows 8, 8.1, 10 (64 bit only) x8664 CPU, with Intel VT-x/AMD-V/SVM Hardware accelerated GPU 400 MB disk space 4GB RAM.

Google’s emulators are very slow and they take ages to boot up and also sleep very frequently, so they are not idle candidates for some one who needs to switch on or off emulators frequently.
Also they eat lot of RAM, so if you have 2-3 Emulators open at the same time, your machine will become very slow. Any testers would need multiple emulators open at the same time.

On macos, go to Genymotion Help Generate all logs in the macos topbar. This will generate a file named genymotion-logs-XXXXXXXXXX-XXXX.zip which contains all Genymotion Desktop logs.

Question or issue on macOS:

I keep getting the following error:

I have reinstalled, deleted and tried about EVERYTHING to get Genymotion to work again.

I do not have the device I need, but Genymotion was PERFECT for the job, until Mavericks update I have been fighting to get it to work again.

MacBook Pro, Retina 13-inch, Early 2013.
i5, 8gb.

I’m running version 1.3.1 for os x.
I do have Virtualbox 4.3 installed with Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.3.0-89960.vbox-extpack too.

My Virtualbox starts up normally without ANY errors.
I tried Environment variables putting vbox on my $PATH, all sorts of things.
Nothing works!

I have no idea what to do anymore, anyone out there had similar problems and fixed it ?

EDIT:
LOG:

EDIT 2:

VBoxManage list hostonlyifs

Prints the following:

How to solve this problem?

Solution no. 1:

I had the same problem and solved it by running the following command:

In later versions, the command is

Make sure you’ve unblocked VirtualBox’s kernel extensions in System Preferences->Security and Privacy->General (You’ll get a popup when you install VirtualBox).

Solution no. 2:

Eventually, you might not have anything in your /Library/StartupItems.

Using the following command helps :

It worked for me on two different Mavericks installs.

Solution no. 3:

Update: Genymotion’s 2.5.1 release (https://www.genymotion.com/#!/release-notes/251#251) seems to have fixed this issue. (thanks for the heads up @Roger!)

For those that may be stumbling upon this a bit later, I resolved this by installing VirtualBox 4.3.28 (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Download_Old_Builds_4_3). The new 5.0.0 and 4.3.30 versions didn’t work for me with Genymotion 2.5. None of the above solutions worked 🙁

It’s also worth noting that at the time of writing, Genymotion’s FAQ states the following:

However, for performance reasons, we recommend using version 4.3.12

Solution no. 4:

You need to restart VirtualBox service you can do it with this:

If in this path is empty you can use:

After I use Parallels I always need to do it.

Solution no. 5:

On Ubuntu GNU/Linux:

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup

Solution no. 6:

What worked for me in Win 7 is to remove the Host-only Network (in Oracle virtual box preferences menu [CTRL+G] -> Network -> host only networks). Genymotion will recreate it automatically at the next virtual device start.

Solution no. 7:

Ok after a whole productive day down the drain I got it to work.

First I uninstalled all traces of Genymotion and Virtualbox.
I then proceeded to install Genymotion and then Virtual Box again, but the previous version (4.2.18)

I ran Genymotion, Downloaded an Image, I got an error message about the network trying to run it.
So I ran it Directly inside Virtual Box, It started up 100% with network and everything.
I shut it down, went to Image’s settings and changed the first adapter to “Host-only”.

I opened the Genymotion Launcher again and “Played” my device and it started up with no problems.

Solution no. 8:

Genymotion Malware

For those who are hitting this thread from Mac OSX with the same error message but a potentially different problem:

1) Check that you have opened GenyMotion through /Applications and that you have enabled the internet permissions

2) Install Virtual box from here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads. Once you download and install, retry running GenyMotion

3) If those do not work, try Mul0w”s suggestion:

sudo /Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh restart

Solution no. 9:

It happens when upgrading to el capitan from yosemite. Virtual box needs to be installed again. Reinstalling geny motion does nothing. You will keep all your virtual devices unchanged.
