GenyMotion and VirtualBox 4.3.30 Yosemite

I'm getting this message using Genymotion -

Genymotion, “Unable to load VirtualBox engine.”

I updated VirtualBox 4.3.28 to VirtualBox 4.3.30 this morning and seems to be causing this. I reinstalled both, from scratch, swapping what I installed first each time. I restarted VirtualBox from terminal - No luck! I have rolled back to VirtualBox 4.3.28 and all seems fine now, but was just wondering of others were having this issue and if they're was a workaround (other than not updating to VirtualBox 4.3.30).

EDIT (05/08/15)

I have now updated the following and all works fine with VirtualBox 5.0:

  • Android Studio Genymotion plugin to version 1.0.5
  • Updated Genymotion to 2.5.2
  • Updated to VirtualBox 5.0

Worth asking on virtualbox forum. – zerkms
Cheers, I will do - I have the same problem with VirtualBox 5.0 as well, so maybe Genymotion will release a patch update if this isn't a localised problem. – Mark Keen
