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.
