Genymotion Desktop Release Notes

Genymotion Desktop 3.0.4 (December 16, 2019)

  • Genymotion Desktop

Drag’n’dropping images and videos on a device is now more convenient: when you drop a media file, the Android media library is automatically refreshed, ensuring your media files immediately appear in the gallery, without having to restart the device.

We added the 440 and 450 DPI buckets, making it possible for you to more closely match real-life devices like the Google Pixel 3.

We also improved network error reporting and logging, making it easier for you to understand when things go wrong and for our support team to diagnose tricky errors.

Finally, we made some last minute adjustments for Android 10. It should be available as a preview soon.

Genymotion Desktop 3.0.3 (October 8th, 2019)

  • Genymotion Desktop

We have updated the bundled adb to version 1.0.41.

The stability when resuming from hibernation on Windows has been improved.

Some error messages have been reworded to be less confusing.

Deprecation notice

Gmtool is going to be removed from the next feature version of Genymotion Desktop: 3.1.0. We encourage all gmtool users to switch to Genymotion Cloud SaaS for their continuous integration needs. Genymotion Cloud SaaS has its own tool to manage virtual devices: gmsaas. If you need any help to migrate, do not hesitate to contact us.

Genymotion Virtual Devices 2.14

  • Genymotion Desktop, Genymotion SaaS (Cloud)

New Genymotion Virtual Devices version 2.14 have been released. Those are the devices used by Genymotion Desktop and Genymotion Cloud SaaS.

What’s in the box?

This release includes the following changes:

  • Keyboard composition has been fixed ; you can now type symbols the way you are used to. For example, on most European keyboard layouts, press “Alt Gr” + “E” to get the Euro symbol.
  • Improvements have been done to the overriding of build properties: it is now possible to override ro.vendor.build.fingerprint on Android 9.0 and we fixed a bug in device ID/IMEI overriding for Android 6.0 and later.
  • Internet connectivity issues on Android 8.0 have been fixed.
  • Searching for applications in Google Play works again.
  • New, colorful wallpapers!

Deprecating older Android versions

We are deprecating Android 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 support. Genymotion Desktop 3.0 can create devices with those Android versions (using Genymotion Virtual Devices 2.13). But they won’t be available in Genymotion Desktop 3.1. If you rely on such devices, we recommend migrating your setup to at least Android 4.4.

Availability

These new devices are now available for Genymotion Desktop 3.0 users and Genymotion Cloud SaaS.

Genymotion Desktop 3.0.2 (April 18th, 2019)

  • Genymotion Desktop

Corrections

We have fixed an incompatibility with the adb tool bundled in the platform-tools 28.0.2 package of the Android SDK, which caused failures to start virtual devices.

This new version of adb changed the behavior of the “adb connect <device>:<port>” command by making the “port” part mandatory. This broke Genymotion Desktop in a few places where it did not pass the port. We have adjusted the way we call “adb connect” and also updated the version we ship with the product to match the one in platform-tools 28.0.2.

Genymotion Desktop 3.0.1 (February 26th, 2019)

  • Genymotion Desktop, Genymotion Device image (PaaS)

Improvements

  • The version of VirtualBox bundled in the Windows installer has been updated to 6.0.4.

Corrections

  • We fixed an incompatibility with VirtualBox 6.0 which caused updates of virtual devices to fail and made it impossible to modify the memory size of existing devices.
  • We also fixed an issue with gmtool not being able to create a virtual device from a template shared on Genymotion Cloud SaaS.

Genymotion Desktop 3.0.0 (December 19th, 2018)

  • Genymotion Desktop, Genymotion Device image (PaaS)

Improvements

  • New Material Design UI for the main window, dynamic filters for device and template lists, non blocking install and upgrade, sortable lists.
  • The free for personal use version now allow access to all features
  • This release comes with Android 9.0 Pie final.
  • The Map widget has been updated from Google maps provider to Mapbox
  • Added more info in the log files to help issue investigations
  • The version of VirtualBox bundled in the Windows installer has been updated to 5.2.22.
  • Genymotion warns you if the certificate used on an https request is not valid. (only for requests done from the main window, requests made from the virtual device will be  secured by Android OS or the browser.)

Corrections

  • Android 8.0 network bridge feature has been fixed
  • When changing the battery level from the command line, the mode automatically switches from host to manual.
  • When signing out, every Genymotion Cloud Saas devices are disconnected from adb.
  • The gmtool command to stop devices in Genymotion Cloud Saas could in some rare cases return before the device has stopped. The issue has been fixed.

Known issues

  • Graphical rendering of Android 9.0 is still slow on MacOS. The next release will dramatically improve the performance.
