When you want to test Android on your PC, Android-x86 might be your solution. Android-x86 is an open source project that has ported Android to x86 platform. This allows us to install Android in a Virtual Machine with VMware Workstation or ESXi. Driver support is very limited, so there are many problems around with Android VMs that cant access the network. This post shows how to install Android in VMware Workstation and how to solve Network Connectivity issues.
The following Android-x86 releases are currently available. All versions can be installed and used in VMware Workstation:
- Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean)
- Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean)
- Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
- Android 3.2 (Honeycomb)
- Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
- Android 2.2 (Froyo)

Some older versions are available as separate Isos for different devices. Take whatever version you want. You can either boot an Android-x86 live system, or install it to the virtual disk.

Dylan ManiatakesHi Im having this problem were it can use my mic but i cant hear audio on vmware workstation
What do I download?
For the best performance, we recommend the Debian images. ARM64 images are recommended for Apple Silicon and iOS devices. x64 images are recommended for Intel Macs but can also run on Apple Silicon and iOS at reduced speeds.
How do I use these?
Android Vm Mac
Download the archive and extract it, then open the extracted .utm file. If you are on iOS, you can AirDrop the .utm file or download from your device and open from the Files app.

How do I change the RAM size?
Depending on your device, you may need to change the amount of RAM to use the VM. For macOS, you should allocate at least 50% of installed RAM for maximum performance. For iOS, you should use around 20% of the device RAM (any more and iOS will terminate UTM). To set the RAM size, open the VM settings and browse to System.

Where is Android?
Mac Os On Vmware
We removed the Android pre-built images because Android does not run well on QEMU/UTM and created a lot of confusion. Advanced users can build their own Android VM from scratch but it is not recommended.
