Can't launch AVD on macOS 10.13

I created some AVDs in Android studio 3.0, but I can't launch them. I used the following command to launch them:

./emulator @Nexus_5X_API_17

logs:

emulator: WARNING: encryption is off
Hax is enabled
Hax ram_size 0x60000000
Failed to open vm 3
Failed to create HAX VM
No accelerator found.
failed to initialize HAX: Invalid argument

And when I reinstalled "Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator(HAXM installer)", the logs:

HAXM silent installation only supports macOS from 10.8 to 10.12 !

I don't know if it is related with this.

After that, I tried to install virtualBox to install genymotion, but I found when I clicks the virturalBox.dmg, the installer crashed.

Could you help me? thanks.

Go to Tools->Android->SDK Manager, then in the SDK tools search for Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) and update to the latest version, restart and thats all!

Following steps worked for me:

  1. Uninstall HAXM from android studio SDK manager (Tools->Android->SDK Manager->SDK Tools then uninstall 'Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM)' by unchecking it.
  2. Download the HAXM version 6.2.1 zip file from Intel site https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-end-user-license-agreement-macosx
  3. Install the .dmg file
  4. Restart your computer
  5. Open your AVD having x86_64 image and it should work.

On install/reinstall of HAXM you get:

HAXM silent installation only supports macOS from 10.8 to 10.12 !

From https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/62395878#comment44

in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General, there was a message “System software from developer xxx was blocked from loading.” with an Allow button. Clicking the allow button enabled HAXM again

Use the new Hypervisor.Framework support instead of HAXM on macOS, as described in the comments of the issue filed for this:

Try running the emulator on Canary channel 26.1.x (API 25/26 recommended) with Hypervisor.Framework; put the text "HVF = on" in ~/.android/advancedFeatures.ini (create this file if it doesn't exist already).

Go to your SDK installation directory, and manually run the HAXM installer. See step 4 on the page: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-acceleration.html#vm-mac

Technically HAXM is only officially supported up until MacOS 10.12 (Sierra) . Since MacOS 10.13 is still in beta, there may be a bug or incompatible API. If the wizard does no work, please file a bug here for the Android Emulator dev team to investigate further: https://source.android.com/source/report-bugs
