Bluestacks Macos Catalina

Create two folders. One will receive files from bluestacks 32b and another will receive 64b files. Create a backup from your 32b and 64b and save them inside of their respective folders (step 1) Inside the 32b folder, you will open BlueStacksBackup0000000EngineAndroid and copy the files: Data.vdi. I got BlueStacks successfully installed on Catalina build '10.15 Beta (19A487l)' tonight. There were several steps involved. Step 1 was disabling Gatekeeper. From the terminal: sudo spctl -master-disable. Then install Bluesacks from the dmg file.

  1. BlueStacks has the ability to run Android-based apps but I really wasn't sure that it would be safe. Handheld operating systems are often a good target. I always used Bitdefender on my Android phone and tablet. I wanted to run a few light games, since macOS Catalina is so light on any games.
  2. If you are using macOS 11 Big Sur, you’ll need to click “Restart” and restart your Mac. However, if you’re using macOS 10.15 Catalina or earlier, you can switch to step 12. You may get the message shown below, which will make it impossible for you to restart. In such a case, click “Cancel” and close BlueStacks.

Question or issue on macOS:

I use Bluestacks as a Virtual device to run apk file on my laptop. On Windows, it is quite simple. I just need to install Bluestacks, then double click to the apk file I want to run. It will automatically install to Bluestacks. However, it is a pain on Mac. After installed Bluestacks, I still can not open apk file.

Anybody know how to do it?

Bluestacks

Thanks in advance.
