Every new release of macOS breaks some apps which are not updated to work with the latest version. The same has happened after the release ofmacOS Mojaveand while there are many apps which Mojave broke, the one that seems to affect a large number of macOS users is BlueStacks. A lot of people have been complaining online about the fact that the BlueStacks Android emulator just does not work on their macOS Mojave systems. Well, if you are someone who had been using BlueStacks on your Mac until macOS Mojave came along, we will tell you what you can do but before that, here’s why BlueStacks is not working on macOS Mojave:

Why BlueStacks is Not Working on macOS Mojave?

The reason why BlueStacks is not working on macOS Mojave is pretty simple. Every new macOS update comes with a lot of underlying changes andapp developers need to update their apps to work with the new operating system. Whenever you update your Mac to a new version, all the incompatible software is placed in an “Incompatible Software” folder which is later retrieved when the app is updated to support the new version of macOS. Since BlueStacks has not been updated to support the macOS Mojave, it will not work on it even if you reinstall the app a hundred times.

BlueStacks Not Working on macOS Mojave: What Can You Do?

We have been trying to get Buestacks to work on the macOS Mojave for the last couple of days, however, all our attempts were thwarted by the new operating system. That’s why we can say with a certainty thatunless BlueStacks is updated to support the new operating system, it won’t work on macOS Mojave.

The only option you are left with is to try BlueStacks alternatives and use it until the former gets updated. We tried various BlueStacks alternatives and the one that we recommend is called Genymotion. While this is a paid product for developers, it isfree for personal use, so you won’t have to pay anything to use this app:

Using Genymotion on macOS Mojave

To use Genymotion on macO Mojave, you will have to install two different pieces of software.The process is a little a bit long, however, the app works flawlessly after being installed properly.So, whenever you are ready, follow the steps to get it working on your Mac:

Well, if you don’t want to use Genymotion, there are a lot ofother great Bluestacks alternatives you can check out. However, if you are a hardcore BlueStacks user and don’t want to use any other alternative, you will have to wait for an update from the developers.
