Genymotion versions differ

Question

Okay! I've just started to learn some basic Android programming.

To my frustration my computer was not quick enough to emulate the apps in a satisfying matter. Therefore I tried to install Genymotion, but my frustration didn't end there.

I have a fresh installation of Genymotion and install virtual devices trough their wizard, but get an error that says that there is a differ in versions between Genymotion and the virutal device. What should I do?

I just installed the latest version of Genymotion (Version 2.2.0).

Then I try to install a virtual device (notice the version 2.2.0)

Any ideas?

From my observations Genymotion always fetches the latest virtual guests version matching to latest Genymotion version. Todays downloaded virtual guests match genymotion 2.2.0.

I had the version missmatch on my 2.1.1 guests while running Genymotion 2.2.0, it recommended to use the latest virtual guests.

I must admit it is pretty odd that your Genymotion fetches old versions. Though i had bad luck in updating to

Genymotion 2.2.0: new virtual guests are instable, old virtual guests become instable too, even downgrade to 2.1.1 did not fix stability issues with 2.1.1 guests.

I would suggest to clean the clear the cache in Genymotion (Settings/Misc/Clear cache), so all logs and temporary files get deleted and give it another try.
