Tips

Due to a lack of manpower for Mac version development, updates are relatively slower. It is recommended to use Mac's built-in multi-system feature to install Windows and use the Windows version of MAA.

โœ… Bluestacks-CN 5

Fully compatible. Need to turn on Settings - Engine Settings - Allow ADB connection.

โœ… Bluestacks 5

Fully compatible. Need to turn on Settings - Advanced - Android Debug Bridge.

โœ… Nox

Fully compatible. MAAX cannot auto-detect adb port now, so you need to fill in adb port 127.0.0.1:62001 in MAA Setting - Connect Setting. Notice that port is not default 5555 , you can get more info in Common ADB ports for popular Android emulators

P.S.: Nox adb bin file path in Mac is /Applications/NoxAppPlayer.app/Contents/MacOS/adb , in parent path MacOS you are able to use adb devices command to get adb path.
