macOS Installation Guide¶
Supported versions¶
Genymotion Desktop has been tested on the following macOS versions:

Hypervisor¶
Genymotion Desktop works as-is with an embedded QEMU hypervisor based on macOS Hypervisor, there is no need to install any extra software.
Using VirtualBox instead of QEMU is not recommended on macOS. Also, it is only available on old mac with Intel x86_64 CPU
VirtualBox is not included in our DMG package and needs to be installed prior to Genymotion Desktop:

If you get an error when launching Genymotion Desktop, reboot your Mac.
