How to run apk file on Mac via Bluestacks

Question

I use Bluestacks as a virtual device to run an apk file on my laptop. On Windows, it's pretty simple. I just need to install Bluestacks, then double-click the apk file that I want to run. It will automatically install on Bluestacks. However, this is a pain on the Mac. After installing Bluestacks, I still cannot open the apk file.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Open a terminal and run the following command:

~/Library/BlueStacks\ App\ Player/Runtime/uHD-Adb install PATH_AND_APK_FILENAME

This is for Bluestack version 0.9.30.

Just right-click the .apk and Open With file, like:

BlueStacks.app and wait for the installation to complete.
