Emulator does not start (c066d201: unhandled exit 1d)

Use option -gpu host.

You run emulator correctly like this

~/Library/Android/sdk/emulator/emulator -gpu host -avd Pixel_2_API_30

or try this:

create a file named advancedFeatures.ini in ~/.android

Put following settings in it:

Vulkan = off GLDirectMem = on


Using Mac OS 11 Beta 6 (20A5364e) here. None of the solutions I found worked until I've tried this:

  1. Completely wipeout and reinstall Android Studio (not sure if this is necessary, try skipping this step first. Use THIS as a guide)
  2. Create your virtual device (if haven't already).
  3. Now instead of running your device normally, open AVD manager and click Cold Boot Now: Cold Boot Now option
  4. You will see a warning message, just click DISMISS and your device will start booting: emulation engine failed message
