Genymotion Desktop 3.7.0 is out!
We are excited to introduce the latest release of Genymotion Desktop, featuring dynamic root access for your virtual devices! Let’s have a quick tour! New features Dynamic root access Historically, Genymotion Desktop has provided rooted Android virtual devices, thus offering superuser rights that are essential for security testing and tweaking Android internals. However, this setup had its drawbacks, since many Android applications, particularly financial apps and games, would not install nor run in such an unsecured environment. To address this, the next virtual devices update will feature un-rooted Android versions by default. This adjustment aligns with the security standards of most Android applications, thus ensuring broader compatibility and a more typical user experience. “Wait… I still need root access!” Don’t worry, root access remains available and you can enable it during virtual device deployment or even at runtime. Note Note that at the time of writing, this feature is only available with Android 14 stable, but plans are in place to back-port it to earlier versions progressively. News & Update Keep up to date with Genymotion development directly within Genymotion Desktop. Did you know Genymotion SaaS is now available in Asia or that gmsaas supports Python 3.12? Important news and updates will now be conveniently delivered to you. Performance Application startup time has been slightly improved by removing unnecessary retro-compatibility procedures.
