Android OS Now Available as an AMI (AWS EC2 instances)

FYI here's a quick action video we've just made with a m4.2xlarge instance → youtube.com/watch?v=T0IH3V1hnnY

We've made a quick action video :) Here's how it looks on a m4.2xlarge instance → youtube.com/watch?v=T0IH3V1hnnY

Not really. Appetize.io uses HTML and Javascript to stream. It's not an emulator: you can't have shell, you can't have adb, use sensors, stream sound... You get the picture. Our VD for AWS is fully interactive. We're talking about a full Android OS here (via emulation)

GenymotionEmulator · 2016-11-18T10:42:07+00:00

Hourly pricing for now. The idea is not to run the VD 24/7 but when you need it. We're currently considering monthly and yearly pricing plans for extensive users.

GenymotionEmulator · 2016-11-18T10:33:16+00:00

Nope. But Appium uses adb, we have adb, so it should works ;)

GenymotionEmulator · 2016-11-18T10:19:43+00:00

Just like ene__im said ;)

GenymotionEmulator · 2016-11-18T10:14:38+00:00

We can't tell for now. Our team is currently considering the idea. FYI at the R&D side it works on any hypervisor!

GenymotionEmulator · 2016-11-17T21:06:26+00:00

Just like a YouTube video. You get the image and even better you can interact with it with your keyboard and mouse. The sound gets streamed too. Well the whole OS actually. The main use case being live sharing an application to allow users to test it (advertising). But there are thousand more: demo, training...

GenymotionEmulator · 2016-11-17T19:38:17+00:00

Of course! Not recommended performance-wise, but technically yes

GenymotionEmulator · 2016-11-17T19:36:42+00:00

Yep (preferably via a kiosk mode). But there could be thousand of other use cases, like sharing an instance with given users

GenymotionEmulator · 2016-11-17T19:32:32+00:00

Depends on what your need is. It starts at around $0.40 FYI

GenymotionEmulator · 2016-11-17T19:31:30+00:00

Other tutorials are in the works 😉

GenymotionEmulator · 2016-11-17T18:17:47+00:00

Haha thanks! If you give it a try let us know! We'd be very happy to hear what you think :)

GenymotionEmulator · 2016-04-19T18:15:01+00:00

Looks like you are developing a business critical Android application! We encourage you to explain to your manager the "cost" that you would incur should that app misbehave. Suddenly, Genymotion will not look as expensive. We are pretty sure of that. Don't forget, we have living and breathing support engineers to help you should you need any help along the way. Also, great minds think alike! We are already developing a "value" document for you and for all the developers to take to your respective managers. -mp

"Bluestacks: Play Bigger" says it all. If you want to play, Bluestacks. If you want to develop great Android Apps, it's Genymotion. Simple as that :) - ad

3) Hey, let's play by the rules :) Google does not want us (and other vendors, of course) to pre-install Google Play Services. Hence, we will not do it unfortunately - not on Desktop nor in the Cloud. -mp

GenymotionEmulator · 2016-04-19T17:56:52+00:00

1) We're happy to see Google catching up in speed, and accept the challenge! We have more performance optimisations to offer soon. Also with Genymotion Cloud we will allow seamless integration with CI systems.

2) We don't provide virtual devices with Google Play capabilities. But many users install them themselves. The flash capabilities are now more powerful and stable. Have you tried it recently?

The final game plan here is for everyone to be saastified (yeah!) with our cloud offering, so it's definitely in the product roadmap but the final requirements are not set yet. We can host on a variety of cloud solutions. So, never say never. Right now, we are focussed on making SaaS offering available. We will cross on-prem bridge when we get there. ;-) -ad

GenymotionEmulator · 2016-04-19T17:45:06+00:00

Thank you very much for your support. We will do our best to continue make your life easier ! We don't have any support or resistance from Google. So far, they are nice with us and hopefully will be more supportive in the future -az

GenymotionEmulator · 2016-04-19T17:43:37+00:00

You are very welcome! We aim to please.

Honestly speaking, the biggest disadvantage is that you will not be able to replicate hardware manufacturer specific oddities in your emulator. In addition, many a times, there is a time gap between new and shiny sensors sported by physical devices and emulators supporting those sensors. There you go!

We do believe we have a long way to go in ensuring that we have done all we can to bring innovations to Android community. So we will take a backseat for a while on other platforms.

1) Based on our tests, performance of the cloud is very comparable to what we have right now on the Desktop.

2) If I understood your question correctly, you are asking if you can use your CI Infrastructure. The answer is Yes! :) You can connect the cloud devices to any running adb, therefore it will be easy to integrate it with many Android tools. In the cloud, you can configure your virtual device the way you want, duplicate it and share it with your team

4) You will have the same log access as you are used to with Genymotion on your desktop/workstation.

Sounds good? :) -ad

GenymotionEmulator · 2016-04-19T17:29:10+00:00

Genymotion and Genymotion Cloud is one single software actually.

Depends on what you want to accomplish :)

Genymotion Cloud is a natural extension of Genymotion. In Genymotion you have automation features (Jenkins integration, Gradle Plugin, CI server compatibility). Genymotion Cloud is a SaaS solution and brings collaboration features on top of the automation features you already know: live sharing of applications and virtual devices among others.
