Android Emulator On Macbook M1

This is the second post that I dedicate to talk about configurations using the new M1 Apple processor. Inpage 2013 free download. As I said in the previous post, these configurations are workarounds until stable versions are released, however, for me, they have been useful and I guess that someone in the same situation as me can benefit from that.

Using Android studio in the new Macbook Air

The emulator runs on the new Mac Mini, Macbook Pro and Macbook Air with Apple's M1 chip. The application does not work on Apple products with Intel SoCs. The emulator can be used to run ARM64-based Android apps on a Mac. The native hardware virtualization of the M1 SoCs is used via Qemu. This is the same tool that is also used to virtualize.

  1. .in Mac App Store here’s how to run the iOS app on M1 Mac, but it can be downloaded and used with the help of a popular Emulator called BlueStacks.
  2. With the new M1 MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac Mini, Apple has started the ball rolling on its much-awaited architecture shift from Intel x86 to ARM processors. However, in order to ensure that apps built for Intel processors can continue working on the new Macs, Apple built Rosetta — a translation layer to run Intel apps on M1 computers.

When you install Android Studio you will get the following warning:

Android

Unable to install Intel® HAXM

Your CPU does not support VT-x.

Unfortunately, your computer does not support hardware-accelerated virtualization.

Here are some of your options:

1 - Use a physical device for testing

Android

2 - Develop on a Windows/OSX computer with an Intel processor that supports VT-x and NX

3 - Develop on a Linux computer that supports VT-x or SVM

4 - Use an Android Virtual Device based on an ARM system image

(This is 10x slower than hardware-accelerated virtualization)

Creating Android virtual device

And also in the Android virtual device (AVD) screen you will read the following warning:

As the previous message was telling us, we have 4 options. The easiest way to proceed is to use a physical device, but what if you haven’t one available at the moment you are developing?

From now on, we will go with the option of using an Android virtual device based on an ARM system image as options 2 and 3 are not possible to execute.

Using the virtual emulator

The only thing that you have to do is to download the last available emulator for Apple silicon processors from Github https://github.com/741g/android-emulator-m1-preview/releases/tag/0.2

Once you have downloaded you have to right-click to the .dmg file and click open to skip the developer verification.

After installing the virtual emulator, we have to open it from the Applications menu.

After opening it you will see Virtual emulator in Android Studio available to deploy your Android application. Make sure to have Project tools available in Android Studio (View -> Tool Windows -> Project)

After pressing the launch button you will get your Android application running in your ARM virtual emulator :-)

Conclusion

In this post, we have seen that is possible to install Android Studio in Macbook Air M1 and use a virtual device even that your M1 doesn’t support VT-x. You can learn more about this emulator in the following references:
