I have a problem to start an Android Emulator on my MacBook Pro M1 (Apple Silicon). When I try to start an emulator (API 30, CPU/ABI arm64), I get this error: "The emulator process for AVD Pixel_2_API_30 has terminiated."
I'm using 2020.3.1 Beta 5 of Android Studio.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
It would seem due to the fact you are using a beta version of android studio the message "The emulator process for AVD Pixel_2_API_30 was killed." has been changed to "The emulator process for AVD Pixel_2_API_30 has terminated." but fundamentally they should still have the same solutions the most common solution being:
"All of the answers are too confusing to follow. Replace SDK or upgrade OS. The quickest way I found is to:
Tools > SDK Manager > SDK Tools
De-select Android Emulator, then click Apply. - The Android Emulator will be deleted.
Now, by default the Emulator version shown will be 30.6.5. Select the checkbox and click apply. This version of emulator will be installed.
That is it, just 2 minutes of you time.
Update: 1 Jul 2021 Issue solved with latest Emulator version 30.7.5"

If this does not fix the error then there are a multitude of different solutions that can be found by googling "Android studio MacBook emulator process for AVD was killed." or simply downgrading/upgrading your emulator works too, because it is a common issue with the v30.6.x emulator versions.
Believe me you are not gonna trust me. I am just faced this issue in my windows machine. Nothing was worked. I am wasted my two days to solve this error but no result. Then I just try this solution And boom It worked.
You just need to Create the file ~/.android/advancedFeatures.ini (for Windows users path should be C:\Users\Dane\.android\advancedFeatures.ini) with the following content:
# Here's how to disable Vulkan apps to talk to the emulator.
# Add the following lines to ~/.android/advancedFeatures.ini (create this file if it doesn't exist already):
Vulkan = off
GLDirectMem = on
Sometimes it's happens lack of storage. Make free space in your hard disk.
I had the same Problems when using API > 29.
So I installed the SDK Platforms API 29 and it worked.
I think this will helps. uninstall "Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)" and reinstall it.
Tools -> SDK Manager -> SDK Tools
Please check your .zshrc file in Mac (edit it by usign vim ~/.zshrc command) and remove any manually added path to ANDROID_HOME. Android studio should not have any conflicts with your existing Android paths.
If you are not using .zshrc file then it may be .bashrc file.
Once removed restart your Android Studio and avd. This worked like a magic!!
Although this question has already being answered, I want to add how I've fixed this issue.
For me, I've to clean up all the data -
# Deletes All Android Studio related preferences
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/Google/AndroidStudio*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio*
# Deletes the Android Studio's plist file
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.google.android.*
# Deletes the Android Emulator's plist file
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.android.*
# Deletes main plugins
rm -Rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/AndroidStudio*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/AndroidStudio*
# Deletes all logs that Android Studio outputs
rm -Rf ~/Library/Logs/Google/AndroidStudio*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio*
# Deletes Android Studio's caches
rm -Rf ~/Library/Caches/Google/AndroidStudio*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Caches/AndroidStudio*
# Deletes older versions of Android Studio
rm -Rf ~/.AndroidStudio*
#Delete gradle files
rm -Rf ~/.gradle/
#Delete Android SDK tools
rm -Rf ~/Library/Android*
rm -Rf ~/.android
By running these command in terminal. Then I open Android Studio and download SDK and voilà It works
I was having this issue on Windows. None of the proposed solutions worked. What did end up working was terminating the currently running adb.exe process. After killing it I was able to run AVD.
