Question or issue on macOS:
I’m use Mac OS El Capitan 10.11.5
Hi Michael, you have to have Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) installed (it supports IA-32 „Intel Architecture 32-Bit“). You might also want to have a look at the Genymotion Operating System requirements. Genymotion is an easy to use yet very powerful Mac app that can emulate different Android devices and place them on your desktop. This way, you can test your Android apps in a more streamlined. Genymotion Virtual Devices are equipped with a large choice of widgets and sensors that can be manipulated to simulate any real life situation or scenario: location, SMS & calls, network & baseband, etc. Genymotion is a developer-centric Android emulator, and as such, it is probably one of the best in allowing you to test apps that you might be developing or building. Genymotion has a huge set of features for full-fledged Android emulation, and you can use it on PC, Mac, or even Linux.
Installed VirtualBox 5.0.24
Genymotion 2.7.2
And when i’m starting Genymotion i get crash — see image:-
text from crash report
if start from terminal i get next text
How to solve this problem?
Solution no. 1:
Just figured out how to force Genymotion 2.7.2 to work on OS X.
You should have Genymotion 2.7.2 and homebrew installed.
or if you have it already installed
remember: find returns a list (old homebrew packages will be included), so if you have several homebrew openssl versions you should skip third command (cp find stage) and copy openssl dylib manually
Fix for: Genymotion.app
Fix for: Genymotion Shell.app
P.S.: It seems that libcrypto.1.0.0.dylib in Genymotion 2.7.0 – 2.7.2 was built for Sandy Bridge or newer CPU’s and crashing on instruction
vxorps %xmm0, %xmm0, %xmm0
EDIT:
missed commands to update embedded player.app (genymotion VM tool), but we need to update it too… if we want to run VM’s 😉
Fix for: player.app
Now Genymotion 2.7.2 works
Solution no. 2:
Upd. I downgrade to version 2.6.0, and that fix this problem.
Solution no. 3:
I can confirm that Genymotion 2.6.0 works on a Mac that presents this problem. Download link
Solution no. 4:
I can confirm this with OS 10.11.5, Genymotion 2.7.0 or 2.7.1 or the actual 2.7.2 using the actual VirtualBox 5.0.24
I even uninstalled Genymotion totally
like told in the FAQ, doing this:
But no change. All three versions 2.7.0, 2.7.1 and 2.7.2 are not working, because they crash immediately at start, even with a previous clean uninstall.
Genymotion 2.6.0 works though, like the others wrote. But now there are differences between the images, in the download I get 2.7.2 images and no more 2.6.0 images, which gives then warnings and difficutlites as well.
I asked the support and will post here the results if there.

Hope this helps!
In this blog, we will understand how to setup Genymotion Android Emulators.
Concept of Emulators is very good for some one who needs access to Android OS without worrying about hardware. But Google’s android emulators face some problems. Althogh it was claimed that with latest release there are significant improvements but its not true. Two main problems are:
Genymotion Macos Big Sur
- Google’s emulators are very slow and they take ages to boot up and also sleep very frequently, so they are not idle candidates for some one who needs to switch on or off emulators frequently.
- Also they eat lot of RAM, so if you have 2-3 Emulators open at the same time, your machine will become very slow. Any testers would need multiple emulators open at the same time.
Genymotion Emulators (https://www.genymotion.com/) have solved above problems very efficiently and thus i recommend using them for automation. Genymotion is free (basic plan) and they have some paid plans also. For this blog we will use free Genymotion.
Follow these steps to setup Genymotion emulators on mac OS:
Step 1) Go to https://www.genymotion.com/pricing-and-licensing/ and click on ‘Individual’ Tab and click ‘Get Started’.
Step 2) Register with your credentials, and login.
Step 3) Click on Download. wait for download to finish.
Step 4) Install the .dmg file and move it to ‘Applications’
Step 5) Launch ‘Genymotion.app’ from applications.
Step 6) The Genymotion application starts. A dialog prompts you to “Add a first virtual device”. Click Yes.
Step 7) Multiple devices are pre-listed. Select a device of your choice and click Next. Follow through the prompts.
Step 8) Once the device is created, select it and click Start.
Step 9) Device will start in no time. It has all the apps provided by Google’s Emulators and these emulator work with all ‘ADB’ commands also.
Step 10) Now go to terminal, and type this command to check the device:
adb devices
Step 11) Now to install the app, use these commands on termial
App will be installed on Genymotion emulator. Enjoy!!
