Once you’ve finished the Android setup process, it will dump you right into the home screen of your new emulated Android device. How to Use BlueStacks to Run Android Apps This is because the BlueStacks wrapper is identifying itself as a Firefox browser and the emulation signature it’s using for its Android hardware identifies itself as an S5-neither of those security emails are anything to worry about. Speaking of signing in, be forewarned: as you perform the two above steps (creating a BlueStacks account and signing into your Google account for the first time) you’ll get two security alerts from Google indicating that you just signed into Firefox on Windows and a Samsung Galaxy S5 device. Select your language, sign in with your Google account (for access to the Play Store and other features), and all the other usual stuff you do when setting up an Android device for the first time. Just as if you turned on a new Android tablet for the first time, you’ll be run through the basic setup. Once you complete the profile setup, you’ll be presented with the BlueStacks GUI and your now-running (emulated) Android device: A BlueStacks account gives you access to some interesting features (like chatting with other BlueStacks users while they’re playing the same games as you), but the best feature is that it syncs your settings across devices-so if you install BlueStacks on your desktop and laptop, everything is the same regardless of where you’re using it. Next, you’ll be prompted to create a BlueStacks account using your Google account to sign in. You’ll be taken through the usual app installation process, confirming at the end that you want BlueStacks to have access to the App Store and Application Communications. Once the installer has finished downloading, launch it. We’re using Windows in our example, but the process for Mac should be pretty similar. To get started with BlueStacks, simply head over to their downloads page and grab an appropriate installer for your computer. If you are, you can use multi-touch, but otherwise you’re out of luck if the app you’re using requires it. Second, multitouch is missing, unless you’re using BlueStacks on a computer with a touch screen monitor. First, the current version of BlueStacks only runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat, so if you need something newer than that, you’ll need to install the Android SDK instead. The entire experience is incredibly smooth on modern hardware (BlueStacks has been around for years and what was originally a pretty rocky alpha-software experience is now quite polished) and even things that previously didn’t works so well (like access to the host computer’s web cam or issues with applications that require GPS data) now work surprisingly well.
