- Moderator of r/BlueStacks, speaking officially. Hi there, as you mentioned, Bluestacks does not work on BigSur at the moment but we are working on it. Here are the MacOS requirements. We do not have a ETA on this fix at the moment but we will post an update when we have any new information.
- Anyone been able to find an Android Emulator that actually works in Big Sur? Bluestacks has been deflecting in their developer forums for months saying they're working hard on a compatible version, yet absolutely nothing has come forward from them.

Once it gets downloaded onto your Mac, double-click on it. The BlueStacks Installer will now open. Here, double-click on the BlueStacks icon to begin the installation.
In macOS Catalina, when my enterprise app (MyApp) tries to access Desktop folder first time, user would get prompt message '<MyApp> would like to access files in your Desktop folder' and once user clicks OK, MyApp entry can be seen in System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Files and FoldersHow Big Is Bluestacks
and MyApp will be able to access Desktop folder without any issues.With Big Sur Beta, I don't see above prompt and I can't also manually add/update MyApp entry in System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Files and Folders. The only entry I can see for MyApp is in System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Full Disk Access which is disabled by default. Once I manually enable this FDA (Full Disk Access) setting, MyApp starts working properly.
Since I couldn't get much related info from Beta release notes, I would like to know whether there are major changes w.r.t. app access in Big Sur? Is FDA enable the only option for app access or can we have more granular control (i.e., allow access only to Desktop folder)?
Big Sur Update
Thanks
