Updated on November 17, 2021 This article explains how to install, set up, and use the BlueStacks Android emulator on macOS. These instructions apply to macOS
10.12 and above, but BlueStacks recommends 10.13 or newer for the best experience. Some instructions only pertain to macOS 11 Big Sur, as it is more difficult to get BlueStacks up and running on Big Sur than earlier versions of macOS. Here's how to get and install BlueStacks on your Mac: Update
macOS if it isn't fully updated. If you don’t have the latest version of macOS and either can't or don’t want to update, make sure that your version has the latest updates installed to have the best chance of BlueStacks working. Download BlueStacks.
Get BlueStacks for macOS. When the download finishes, open the BlueStacks installer. Double click the BlueStacks installer icon. If prompted for permission to open the installer, click Open. Click Install Now. If prompted, enter your macOS username and password and click Install Helper. If you are presented with a System Extension Blocked popup, click Open Security & Privacy. You can also proceed by clicking Apple > Preferences > Security & Privacy. On the General tab of the Security & Privacy window, look for “System software from developer “Oracle America, Inc.” was blocked from loading” and click Allow. You may need to click the lock icon in the lower right part of the window first, depending on your macOS settings. Click Restart if prompted. You won’t need to restart at this point if you have macOS 10.15 Catalina or earlier. If you have macOS 11 Big Sur and don’t see this message, you will need to restart manually. If you see a "BlueStacks interrupted restart" message, click Cancel, then open Security & Privacy again and click Restart on the General tab. The Restart button will appear in the same place you saw the Allow button earlier. Wait for your Mac to restart. When it finishes, BlueStacks will be ready to use. How to Use BlueStacks on MacOnce you have successfully installed BlueStacks on your Mac, you can use it in much the same way you would an actual Android device. Instead of tapping icons and buttons, you use your trackpad or mouse to click them. You log in with a Google account to access the Google Play Store just like a real Android device, and you’ll have access to any Android apps you have purchased or downloaded on Android devices in the past. Here’s how to use BlueStacks on your Mac:
Why Use BlueStacks on Your Mac?BlueStacks is a free Android emulator that works on both Windows and macOS. If you have a Mac and don't have any Android devices, this is the best way to access Android-only apps. It's also great for gaming if you have an older Android device or a budget handset and a more powerful Mac, as you'll find that Android games perform very well on most Mac hardware. In cases where a game doesn't have a native Mac version, BlueStacks also provides you with a way to play those games. For example, an emulator like BlueStacks is the only way to play Among Us on an Intel Mac. What if BlueStacks Won’t Work on Mac?If you’re having trouble installing BlueStacks on your Mac try updating macOS. BlueStacks often won’t work if macOS isn’t fully updated. BlueStacks recommend using macOS 10.13 or newer; versions older than 10.12 don’t support BlueStacks at all. If you don’t upgrade, you won’t be able to run BlueStacks. Thanks for letting us know!
