M1 MacBook air에 android studio를 다운로드했지만 에뮬레이터를 실행할 수 없으며 오류 만 발생합니다. 나는 맥에 대한 안드로이드 스튜디오 요구 사항을 검색하고 그것은 맥 OS 10이 필요하다고 말합니다. Jul 25, 2021 Android Emulator for Macbook M1 - posted in Mac OS: Hello all, I am looking for an Android emulator for Macbook PRO M1. I have tried Bluestack, NOX and Genymotion but they are not working. Any you know what, unlike Android Studio (which is still Intel based compiled), the M1 Emulator is Apple M1 Device compatible!! No wonder it works so fast! Known Limitation (to me) There’s only S.
Support for downloading the M1-based emulator was added to SDK Manager, so it's not necessary to go to the Github releases page to download a standalone.app anymore. In AVD Manager go to the Other Images tab as by default it doesn't show the ARM64 images. Android Emulator M1 Preview.

This is the second post that I dedicate to talk about configurations using the new M1 Apple processor. 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
When you install Android Studio you will get the following warning:
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
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
Android virtual device Pixel_3a_API_30_x86 was successfully created
And also in the Android virtual device (AVD) screen you will read the following warning:
If you want to learn more regarding virtualization in processors you can read the following Wikipedia article, the thing is that our M1 processor doesn’t support VT-x, however, we have options to run an Android Virtual Device.
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:
Android Emulator M1 Preview
Note: There is an official repo now which is preferred: (https://github.com/google/android-emulator-m1-preview). We will still watch this repo for issues and comments, but please redirect your activity to the official repo.
This is a preview of some basic Android emulation functionality on the M1. There are still many issues, but apps work at a basic level. To be updated soon with more fixes. The release tag corresponds to this commit: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/external/qemu/+/aca144a9e9264b11c2d729096af90d695d01455d
Known issues
- Webview doesn't work
- No sound
- No device skins
- Video codecs not working
- 32 bit ARM apps won't work
- Graphical glitches in some Vulkan apps
- Popup on startup about not being able to find the ADB path (ADB will still notice the emulator if you have it installed though)
- When building, it may be faster to start then cancel the Python triggered build and then reissue
ninja -C objs install/strip
versus letting the Python triggered build finish.
How to use
This only works on M1 Apple Silicon Macs. M1 (or equivalently capable) SoCs are required; note that this does not work on DTKs as they do not support ARM64 on ARM64 hardwre virtualization via Hypevisor.framework. However, we have plans to add support there as well via Virtualization.framework.
Go to the Github releases page, download a .dmg, drag to the Applications folder, and run. You'll first need to right click the app icon and select Open and then skip past the developer identity verification step (we are working on providing official identity info). The first few times it starts up it will take a while to show up, but subsequent launches will be faster.
If you've installed Android Studio and Android SDK and adb
is available, the emulator should be visible from Studio and work (deploy built apps, debug apps, etc).
How to configure
Edit /Applications/Android Emulator.app/Contents/MacOS/aosp-master-arm64-v8a/config.ini
. Some notable options:
disk.dataPartition.size
: size of userdata. When reconfiguring, you'll also need to delete alluserdata*.img
files in that directory.fastboot.forceColdBoot
,fastboot.forceFastBoot
: whether to enable snapshots. Current default is snapshots disabled. Setfastboot.forceColdBoot=no
,fastboot.forceFastBoot=yes
to enable snapshots.hw.lcd.density
: Virtual display DPI.hw.lcd.width
,hw.lcd.height
: Virtual display dimensions.hw.ramSize
: RAM limit for the guest. (2GB minimum)
How to wipe data
Remove all userdata*.img
files in /Applications/Android Emulator.app/Contents/MacOS/aosp-master-arm64-v8a/
.
How to build your own emulator
Android Emulator On Macbook M1 Download
Building the engine
Android Emulator On Macbook M1 Pro
The emulator source code lives (here), but there are a bunch of other dependencies to download, so we use repo
.
To build, first make sure you have Xcode and Xcode command line tools installed, and that you have Chromium depot_tools
in your PATH
(link). Then:
Note that canceling the python based build after it gets going and issuing just ninja -C objs install/strip
may be faster.
Android Emulator On Macbook M1 App
The built artifacts are in /path/to/external/qemu/objs/distribution/emulator
. They should be automatically signed. However, the binaries in objs/
are not; to sign them, issue ./sign-objs-binaries.sh
. Note that this can only be done after ninja -C objs install/strip
is successful.
Building the system image
The system image is built from AOSP master sdk_phone_arm64
with a few modifications. Ideally, let's be on a Linux host when building the system image---the build is relatively untested on M1 systems, and at least, we need to create a separate case sensitive partition for the AOSP repo. Assuming you're on Linux:
We first need to make an edit to remove all 32 bit support. Patch this change: link to build/make/target/board/emulator_arm64/BoardConfig.mk
. Then:
Android Studio Emulator On Apple M1
After that's done, we can use this script to package up the system image for use in /Applications/Android Emulator.app/Contents/MacOS/aosp-master-arm64-v8a/
. Assuming you're still in the Android build environment:
Android Emulator Macbook Pro M1
Then, $ZIPPED_NAME.zip
can be sent over to the M1 and the contents of its files/
can be coped over into /Applications/Android Emulator.app/Contents/MacOS/aosp-master-arm64-v8a/
.
