A preview build of the Android Emulator ported to run natively on Apple Silicon (M1) Macs, providing ARM64 Android emulation via Hypervisor.framework. It has since been superseded, as official M1 emulator support is now distributed through the Android SDK Manager.

Use cases

  • run android emulator on m1 mac
  • emulate android arm64 on apple silicon
  • test android apps on mac m1 without rosetta
  • android virtual device on arm64 mac
  • debug android apps from android studio on m1

When to choose

  • you are stuck on an old SDK setup without SDK Manager emulator support and need native M1 emulation
  • you want to study or build the ARM64 emulator engine from source

When to avoid

  • you are on any modern Android SDK setup - just install the emulator via SDK Manager instead
  • you need webview, video codecs, 32-bit ARM apps, or Vulkan stability
  • you are on an Intel Mac, DTK, or non-M1 hardware
