Trying to create AVD in the background results in failure

[Nisim761]

Orb version: android: circleci/android@2.1.2

This is what i have in my config.file:

• android/create-avd: system-image: "system-images;android-29;google_apis;x86" avd-name: Pixel_2_API_29 install: true

Trying to add the background: true attribute to the step resulted with a failure when executing "circleci config validate", as follows, as the attribute is unnexpected: https://discuss.circleci.com/t/create-avd-in-the-background/46840/2

Hi @Nisim761, I agree there should be the ability to run that command in background because it does cause a time sink. I just opened a Pull Request that should move both steps of the create-avd command into 1 step and allow it to run with the background parameter as expected.

Thank you for implementing this so quickly. How can run the create-avd command in the background?
