Genymotion Cloud Is Out! – Here’s What You Need To Know
We take the mobile application lifecycle bull by the horns We are glad to announce that Genymotion Cloud is Generally Available! Which means you can now enjoy our leading Android Emulator in a browser. But there’s more! We are ready to put in your hands for the very first time “Test Automation” features, to the great delight of your Android application users. Here’s what it provides. Genymotion Cloud brings app testing to a whole new level With Genymotion Cloud Automation features, we are solving it for many constituencies within an enterprise. 1. Developers will have a seamless coding and testing experience. Their current development environment tools won’t change thanks to Genymotion adb tunnel. They will still be able to develop test cases with Java API and seamlessly automate them with Command line tool or with Genymotion Gradle plugin. Developers will commit their code without worrying about breaking the build. 2. QA Engineers will now feel even more empowered while providing their approval to release an application. With Genymotion Cloud, they will be in the driver’s seat. No compromise in setting up test bed. Till now, either they used to curtail their test cases to fit the hardware and software availability or take longer to wave that green flag. With Genymotion Cloud Automation features, they will have all the freedom on this planet to go as deep and as wide in their test cases as they like. They will release with confidence. 3. IT Engineers will love it because we are enabling them to do more with less. Now they can focus on mission critical IT tasks. This is music to CIOs’ ears. At the end, who wins is not Development, not QA and not even IT. It is the end user of the mobile application that got developed and released with utmost confidence. He is going to receive the best end user experience. Goes without saying, that is going to guarantee a customer for life for the enterprise adopting Genymotion Cloud. What’s next? We have been working on Genymotion Cloud for a while now and yet there’s still a lot of goodness to come. Collaboration features will be implemented in the next few months and will enable live sharing of virtual devices and apk files. Our automation features are just the beginning! So go ahead, embrace Genymotion Cloud with confidence and stay tuned for more details in coming weeks. We can’t wait to share more. GET ON BOARD

Genymotion 2.8.0 is out – Such performance! Much smoothness! (and fixes)
PERFORMANCE YAY ? Virtual devices now run as fast as earlier this year. Also, we made sure you reach +20% performance in browser and webviews ?

This used to happen when…
[UPDATED] Genymotion 2.7.0 is out – Retina display support, NAT/Bridge network modes, and more
EDIT 2: Genymotion 2.7.1 is out and fixes compatibility issues with Android Studio. Faster ADB technology has been removed and will be reimplemented very soon in 2.7.2. EDIT 1: We noticed a few compatibility issues with Android Studio (Genymotion not being detected by adb). 2.7.1 is on its way and will fix the issue. Meanwhile, 2.6.0 is the version that remains available to download. YES! You read it right: Genymotion now fully supports Retina screen resolutions [insert victory song]. No more design flaws or weird issues! We considered the waiting time sufficient (i.e. dawn of time) and rolled up our sleeves* to make it available for this release. Genymotion 2.7.0 also brings updated and improved ADB. It is blazing fast: large APK files can now be pushed ten to thirty times faster on any Android version! No more coffee-time during deployments. Also on the menu: NAT/Bridge network modes. Connect with your virtual devices from any computer on the same network! One last thing: in order to provide the best experience for the maximum amount of users, we will now focus our efforts on today’s most-used platforms. As a consequence, Genymotion 32-bit is no longer available and will not be updated nor supported anymore. Don’t panic! Previous versions will still be operational. As always, this release also brings a couple of bug fixes and improvements, which you can read about in more detail in the full release note. You might notice subtle changes paving the way for our soon to be released Cloud offer. Let us know in comments if you found them all! Enjoy! * No developers were harmed in the making of this new version. DOWNLOAD GENYMOTION 2.7.0 Our teams work hard to bring you the best at each release. If you have any queries, please feel free to send us an email or tweet us @Genymotion.
