How to create an Android virtual device MacBook air with M1 chip? Your CPU does not support VT-x


I am unable to create a virtual device on Android studio on my MacBook air. For all the system images it says that your CPU does not support VT-x. What is the solution or a probable alternative t use a virtual android device on MacBook air with the new M1 chip


Solution

  • You can't create an emulator directly on Android Studio, not yet, although, you can use this repository that google created

    https://github.com/google/android-emulator-m1-preview

    Here you can find the installers for Mac: https://github.com/google/android-emulator-m1-preview/releases

    Just install as any other software and when you open the emulator Android Studio will, automatically, recognize it.
