Emulator start error

[webberbond]

So, I was building a docker image on architecture linux/amd64. I got an image and wanted to setup my GitLab CI Pipeline:

stages: 
  - testing 
  - history_copy 
  - reports 
  - deploy 

docker_job:

When i started the pipeline the logs I obtained are:

==> Checking emulator booting up status

Does it fail right away after this line, or it take few minutes ?

[webberbond]

@amrsa1 it takes a few minutes

[abaldwin-op]

I resolved this (via Windows/Docker Desktop using the non-Windows specific yaml) by changing to install emulator as well. Assuming that's the right call, but still in early testing phase on my end.

However, I can't build the image on an M3, so that's another problem I need to learn more about... (Assuming something obvious I'm missing due to architecture.) Will research and potentially post a sep. issue if I need further help... And edit solution here either way.

Local for reference:

"Without Android Studio"

  1. Install Android Studio Command Line Tools: https://developer.android.com/studio#command-tools
     - **MacOS**
       * [homebrew](https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/android-commandlinetools): `brew install --cask android-commandlinetools`
         - To see where things are installed: `brew info --cask android-commandlinetools`
     - **Windows** (_Fully untested_)
       * [scoop](https://scoop.sh/#/apps?q=android+command+line+tools): `scoop bucket add main`
       * ~~winget: [microsoft/winget-pkgs/issues/4082](https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/issues/4082)~~
  2. Install emulator and platform-tools: `sdkmanager platform-tools emulator`
  3. Find _your_ target system image, platform, and build tools: `sdkmanager --list`
     - Example: 
       * System Images: `system-images;android-33;google_apis;arm64-v8a`
       * Platform: `platforms;android-33`
       * Build Tools: `build-tools;33.0.3`
  4. Install target platform, system image, and build tools: `sdkmanager "<platforms>" "<system-images>" "<build-tools>"`
     - Example: `sdkmanager "platforms;android-33" "system-images;android-33;google_apis;arm64-v8a" "build-tools;33.0.3"`
       * Alternatively, you can install components individually:
         ```
         sdkmanager "platforms;android-33"
         sdkmanager "system-images;android-33;google_apis;arm64-v8a"
         sdkmanager "build-tools;33.0.3"
         ```
       * If you don't specify a version for platforms or build tools, latest will be used:
         - Example: `sdkmanager "platforms;" "build-tools;"`
  5. Create Android Virtual Device (AVD): `avdmanager create avd --name <avd-name-here> --package “<your-target>”`
     - Example: `avdmanager create avd --name android-33 --package "system-images;android-33;google_apis;arm64-v8a"`
       * _Note: I did not elect to create a custom hardware profile when asked._
  6. Set [`ANDROID_HOME` environment variables](#environment-variables)
  7. Run emulator to verify installation: `emulator -avd <avd-name>`
     - Example: `emulator -avd android-33`
  8. CTRL+C on running terminal to end the process, or:
     - Or: `adb -e emu kill` or `adb -s <avd-name> emu kill`
     - Or: `emulator -avd <avd-name> -no-window && emulator -avd <avd-name> -wipe-data`

Unfortunately, won't have time for a bit longer to dive into, but posting in case it helps someone else before I have a chance to revisit.

Yea, the actual issue that we are currently missing the support for apple silicon arm chip, looking forward to find a solution for that.
