How to install Tizen 4/5 emulators on macOS?

Question

Could you please advise how to install Tizen 4, 5 emulators on my macOS machine?

I have the latest SDK which is available with Tizen Studio 4.1.1

What I have tried to do:

1. To find a public image of the Tizen 5 and add it via emulator manager - I didn't find the image
2. Install older SDK from the archive and install it via the package manager - older SDKs and IDE's didn't work (the app is corrupted error)

I'm using macOS Catalina (10.15.7)

Answer 1

The proper way to install an old emulator is:

• Download the TV Extension Image, of the TV version you want and your OS from: Archive > TV Extension for Tizen SDK.

• Go in Tizen Studio to Tools > Package Manager. Then follow the instructions detailed in Installing TV SDK > Installing Required Extensions, to install the SDK you downloaded, from a local file (it's at the end of the page).

• Go in Tizen Studio to Tools > Emulator Manager, then follow the instructions detailed in TV Emulator > Creating Emulator Instances, and when creating a new emulator, you should be able to find the old emulator image you just installed.
