Unfortunately, as a React Native developer, you’re not using Android Studio. However, after feverishly searching for Google for “macOS android emulator,” you likely found there’s not much available.Īs you probably know, Android Studio comes with a great management tool for managing your emulated devices. Being able to test your apps on your local computer without installing the app on a physical device drastically speeds up your development cycle. If you’re a React Native developer, sooner or later you’ll need the ability to run an Android emulator on your Mac. Run React Native apps on an Android emulator for macOS
Given the chance, I'll talk to you for far too long about why I love Flutter so much. I know I can still debug directly on the device, but is there any way I can virtualize a 4.0.3 ARM device (or even x86/64 with emulation, though I've heard that's horrendously slow), on my Mac? I can't seem to find any Android images or ISOs for 4.0.3 that are ARM (though any Android 4 version up to 4.4 should work for my needs).Lewis Cianci Follow I'm a passionate mobile-first developer, and I've been making apps with Flutter since it first released. Most of the time I used virtualization, but connected via ADB whenever I wanted to test something device specific. The newest Android Studio version I've gotten to work successfully with these devices is 3.5.2, and the dev/build/deployment process worked very well on my old Intel Mac. Yes, I know this is a horribly out of date Android version, but I've got some hardware (specifically, touchscreen wall tablets for AV/smart home control) that runs this version, with no way, or at least no easy way, to upgrade to a more modern Android version. I recently upgraded to a Mac with the Apple M1 chip, and quickly realized that I could no longer virtualize Android 4.0.3 on Android Studio 3.5.2.
