Android Emulator not running on M1

I cannot start the android emulator V30.9.4

I got this error message:

It works with sudo privilege.


  • Try to use the host system's OpenGL driver:
cd $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/emulator
./emulator -avd <Pixel_4_API_29> -gpu host
  • Then go to Emulator Settings -> Settings -> Advanced.
  • Select OpenGL ES renderer "Autodetect based on host".
  • Save & restart.

P.S. Get list of avds:

./emulator -list-avds
