How to start the SurfaceDuo 2 emulator on an Apple M1 device?

Hi team, I know I had the same questions a few month ago, but I want to bring it up again. Currently I'm using an Apple M1 Mac as my development machine. Everything works expect of the Surface Duo ...

    tscholze Sorry about the confusion. What I meant last time during the Twitch Live session was Google Android emulator is working on Apple M1, but not our Surface Duo emulator. We are still working on our ARM emulator. Will let you know when it is ready.

Not sure - that box is intended for enabling folks to build & test apps _targeting_ Windows on ARM as a platform. I don't know if many folks are planning to use it as a general desktop developer platform for other targets. An interesting question that we'll keep in mind.

Yes, Craig_Dunn. I know that this box is -as you mentioned - purely meant for Windows, not Android developers.

 

It was more a question out of curiosity if the work you did put into the M1 / M2 port also enables Windows ARM - but you answered it already: no.

 

Thanks for your blazing fast reply!
