Appcelerator Studio times out waiting for Android Emulator to launch

I've run into a problem with launching my Android apps on my Virtual Devices after I recently updated my existing SDKs from the AVD Manager. When I choose my existing Android Emulator from Appcelerator Studio and hit run, it compiles fine, but once compiling is finished, it says the following:

[INFO] :   Signing apk: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_102.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/jarsigner "-sigalg" "MD5withRSA" "-digestalg" "SHA1" "-keystore" "/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/5.0.3.v20151203125132/android/dev_keystore" "-storepass" "*******" "-signedjar" "/Users/<username>/Work/Appcelerator/<MyApp>/build/android/bin/<MyApp>.apk" "/Users/<username>/Work/Appcelerator/<MyApp>/build/android/bin/app-unsigned.apk" "tidev"

[ERROR] :  Emulator timeout after waiting 240000 ms

The strange thing is, the emulator does launch and boots up properly, but Appcelerator Studio seems to not "see" that the emulator has launched, so it keeps waiting and eventually times out. Creating new virtual devices does not eradicate the issue.

This issue occurs with LiveView enabled and disabled.

My environment is:

Here are my installed SDKs:

Installed Android SDKs and SDK addons

Things were working fine before I updated the installed Android SDKs a couple of days ago. This issue has made Android development using Appcelerator Studio extremely painful, slow and unproductive, with no debugging possible in Studio and having to manually compile and install APKs to the AVD.

Solution

  • Your Titanium SDK version 5.0.3 is quite old. Can you try with the latest SDK 5.4 GA and Studio 4.7.0 GA.
