Those who had tried installing or running BlueStacks after the macOS upgrade will have noticed that our emulator crashed or didn’t launch at all due to compatibility issues. However, with the new BlueStacks version 4.240.5, you can now easily install our Android app player on your Apple computers once again without issue-all you need to do is update your BlueStacks client, and you’re set!

However, due to the OS upgrade, you’ll need to perform a few extra steps in order to actually use BlueStacks on macOS 11, which revolve around giving our app permission to run on your Mac.

To view more detailed instructions on how to go about this, we suggest reading our dedicated macOS 11 Big Sur support article. Feel free to ask any questions you may have about this topic in that article, as well, and we’ll get back to you ASAP. If for some reason you can’t update your BlueStacks client, you’ll need to perform a manual reinstall of your client, which implies uninstalling your current version and installing a new, clean version. Luckily, this process is also quite simple and takes only a few steps.
