Genymotion Device doesn't appear on Device Chooser - Android Studio

I installed Genymotion with a virtual Box and the Genymotion plugin (Android Studio), created a new device and runs properly, even from Android Studio.

However when I hit the Run button, the Genymotion device does not appear on the Device Chooser, it says 'Nothing to Show' under the 'Choose a running device' radio button. How can I get the Genymotion device to appear on the Device Chooser and run my app? Is it something I am missing from the SDK manager?

This happens because Genymotion is shipped with outdated Android tools. To solve follow the steps:

  • Open Genymotion app,
  • Go to Settings -> ADB
  • Select 'Use custom Android SDK tools'
  • And select location of your Android SDK.

On Mac with a recent version of Studio that would be:
