Is there any way to connect App Inventor 2 to a Genymotion instance?

Franck has a great guide but just wanted to add some more information for people who might end up with the same issues I had around the end of step 2
Drag and drop was not available out of the box for me https://docs.genymotion.com/latest/Content/03_Virtual_Devices/Interacting_with_virtual_devices/Drag_and_drop.htm
https://docs.genymotion.com/latest/Content/02_Application/Configuring_Genymotion/ADB.htm#adb
so I had to set up the ADB which was mentioned in the MAC area of part 3 ( I'm on PC )
I installed Android studio as the SDK download just gave me a tools folder and that wasn't being recognized as valid in Genymotion, I directed the "Use custom Android SDK Tool" to C:\Users\bob\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
This allowed me to then drag and drop the general apk files into my Genymotion android emulated client, but it would not allow the companion to install and mentioned an "ARM" issue, which was solved by following this guide
Then I just followed on from Step 3.3 and it all worked perfectly.

C:\Program Files\Genymobile\Genymotion\tools\adb.exe
) and paste it over the one installed in the commands-for-Appinventor folder on your computer (default location: C:\Program Files (x86)\AppInventor\commands-for-Appinventor\adb.exe
). In aiStarter, there should see some activity as well:
Leave the AVD and aiStarter running.
5 Now you can connect App Inventor to Genymotion: go to your project in App Inventor, click on connect > USB:
Your application should appear in Genymotion after 10 or 20 seconds.
