I have successfully downloaded and installed Genymotion and Virtualbox as well as a Virtual Device Image but I am unable to create a virtual device.
I get an error message stating
Unable to create Virtual Device:
Failed to import OVA
My laptop Specs

Intel Core i7 (Sandy Bridge)
Hardware Virtualization is enabled in the BIOS.

Genymotion Desktop has been designed to run in a physical environment, not in a virtual machine. For this reason, Genymotion Desktop will not work if run in a Windows, Linux or macOS VM. Also, Genymotion Desktop has been designed to work on a workstation, not a server.
Genymotion operation relies on the use of Oracle VM VirtualBox in the background. This enables virtualizing Android operating systems. Your question seems to end in a cirle: Genymotion is a virtualBox based Android Emulator. So the answer basically ends up in: because Genymotion decided on that.
As a result, Genymotion Desktop does not run on most Mac models released after 2020, such as: MacBook Air (M1, 2020) Mac Mini (M1, 2020)
Deleting the Genymotion cached .ova file, deleting the corrupted deployed image, redownloading the image, and reinstalling it addressed the issue for me.
Note that the deployed images are under: ~/.Genymobile/Genymotion/deployed
the cached ova files are under: ~/.Genymobile/Genymotion/ova

I solved the problem.It was my mistake.
It works fine by running genymotion with administrative privileges.
