Check this answer: PANIC: Missing emulator engine program for 'x86' CPU. and Mac and "PANIC: Missing emulator engine program for 'arm' CPU."

For newer version of Android SDK, the emulator path should be /<xxx>/Android/sdk/emulator/emulator, make this path is the first path to be searched in our environment variable.

i.e. add this path to your environment variable PATH BEFORE /<xxx>/Android/sdk/tools/emulator

Or try to remove /<xxx>/Android/sdk/tools/emulator from your PATH variable.

This worked for me. The final solution looked like this: export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk export PATH=$ANDROID_HOME/emulator:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$PATH – Ostap Didenko Dec 03 '19 at 14:44

Defeats the purpose of the emulator is used to test 32 bit native code... – Zoe stands with Ukraine May 12 '19 at 13:02

It worked for me to use x86_64 instead of x86. I had to delete all others devices to be sure this one is taken into account – Dardan Iljazi May 26 '19 at 20:45

If you are using a mac make sure to put this in terminal:

./emulator -avd "Pixel_3_API_28"

Emulator program is in ~[user]/Library/Android/sdk/emulator directory.

Wow just came back to this and I answered my own question! Make sure you change to the emulator directory in terminal - cd ~/Library/Android/sdk – Droid Chris Jun 19 '20 at 19:08

It might be that Mac OS doesn't run 32bit applications anymore. When you change your simulator to 64 bit (x86_64) it will run fine:

Just install x86_64 version on emulator.
