    RaananW this is an incompatibility with the latest release of the Android emulator 😕

     

    Rotation will work on emulator 30.0.12 and earlier, but in versions 30.0.26 and over it fails (nothing rotates). We are working on a fix but there is no timeline yet.

     

    A workaround would be to downgrade to version 30.0.12 of the emulator.

     

    UPDATE:

    You can download an older version of the emulator binaries from these links (on dl.google.com):

    Take the /emulator/ directory in these downloads and place in your Android SDK location (consider first renaming the existing folder to /emulator-newer/ so you can reinstate it if required).
