The emulator process has terminated

I am following this guide in order to develop a simple hello world application for Android Automotive using Android Studio.

I have downloaded the Volvo Polestar 2 system image as you can see here:

and here:

Then I have created two classes as suggested by the guide and created the emulator:

But if I run the app I get:

07/07 12:17:56: Launching 'automotive' on Polestar 2 API 29. Error while waiting for device: The emulator process for AVD Polestar_2_API_29 has terminated.

  • How do I solve?

This is the gradle file:

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application'
}

android {
    compileSdk 32

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.demo"
        minSdk 29
        targetSdk 32
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {

    implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.4.2'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.13.2'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.3'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.4.0'

    implementation "androidx.car.app:app-automotive:1.2.0-rc01"
}
Solution

  • The problem is related to Apple's M1 chips, since Polestar system image is based on x86_64 architecture while Silicon M1 is based on ARM. There is no particular solution for this problem, outside of using ad emulator.
