OpenGL incompatibility?

[WDgaster66]

I had the preview successfully launch, installed an app, and even created a custom AVD that flawlessly functioned at 5120x2880 resolution. After conducting a few tests after changing settings in attempts to optimize performance, I changed a setting relating to OpenGL in the emulator itself ( the menu that displays upon clicking the 3 dots at the bottom of the bar on the right ). Now, my mac refuses to boot any AVDs. I cannot change it back, as the menu to change it is only accessible after successfully launching the AVD. Upon attempting to launch an instance, the AVD loads and shows up in the activity monitor, however no window appears. Followed up with a "unresponsive app" notification. I've tried a full reset of Android Studio and cleared all files related to it, however it still remains unresponsive. I might be confused on what caused the issue, although I believe that changing it's rendering options creates an issue.

I factory reset my M1 and can confirm that messing with these settings basically bricks your emulators. I don't know where the settings file for this is saved, so you can't really revert this change without clearing everything.

Sorry about that; it's a Qt setting and Qt settings are system wide. To fix it next time around, you'll have to dig into the runemu script and add -gpu host to the emulator invocation there.

@WDgaster66
I did the same thing. Have you solved it？How?

I have the same exact issue and haven't been able to find a workaround so far. Using the latest emulator tools (31.2.8). If I run the emulator from the command line I get these error messages:

ERROR   | EglOsGlLibrary: Could not open GL library libGLESv2.dylib [dlopen(libGLESv2.dylib, 0x0002): tried: '/Users/...' (no such file), '/Users/.../Library/Android/sdk/emulator/lib64/gles_swiftshader/libGLESv2.dylib' (code signature in <B48F2D27-E9C4-30EF-A948]

Weirdly enough, the emulator runs correctly when launched with sudo from the terminal (but it doesn't work with Studio, I guess due to permissions issues).

adding sudo doesn't work for me. will this issue be fixed?

This worked for me. You're a lifesaver. Full script I used: emulator -avd Pixel_5_API_30 -gpu host inside the path: Users/YourName/Library/Android/sdk/emulator
