Android studio emulator not working on mac

broken image

The Emulator runs fine on Windows 10 and on macs running Catalina and BigSur. During tests students are not allowed to use their smartphones, so the Companion is not an option. However, during this lockdown year, tests are remote so that students have to use their computers at home. The standard setup is the offline AI2Live with the Emulator running on Windows PCs in a lab. My students for their tests have to develop (simple) App Inventor projects. What is the reason behind this really non-standard setup?
