How to get the Surface Duo emulator running on an Apple M1 chip device?
Hi team,
I know that this is more an Android emulator in general question, but maybe some of you got the Surface Duo emulator working on an Apple M1 device.
The error message says correctly what the problem is.
emulator: Trying emulator path '/Users/tobiasscholze/Library/Android/sdk/emulator//qemu/darwin-aarch64/qemu-system-x86_64'
emulator: ERROR: can't find the emulator executable.
That's true. I have only a `qemu-system-aarch64` image because it is an ARM device. Before you asked, yes I installed all required tools using the Getting Started document and the latest Android Studio but all of these are x86_64.
I was also looking how to change it from `qemu-system-x86_64` just to the ARM variant but I could not find it in the .sh file.
Thanks for any helpful tip!
- Unfortunately I don't have an M1 yet, but I've been googling around and it seems like the standard emulators should be working... at least according to this article

Obviously there's still some work for us to do, to ensure the Surface Duo image works well on M1, but I'd be interested if to know if Google's latest updates are at least making the default experience better?
