I have trouble to run older android API arm 64 images on m1, like api 25 for example is not starting . Can this project help me ?

[renetik]

I tried api 24 and 25 and have not luck with them at all .. They don't start just opens and android don't boot up. I use comfortably 29, 30 and 31 so don't know, looks like they where not updated to support M1 or something ? I wrote so question here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69966388/no-luck-with-running-older-android-arm-64-emulator-builds-on-m1-mac?noredirect=1#comment123680379_69966388

I need this working too. I also tried running the emulator from the command line, in hopes I'll get some descriptive error messages, unfortunately this output doesn't look much different from the API 29, 30 and 31 system images, which are all working fine. Command: ./emulator -avd Nexus_S_API_25 Output:

For reference, this is the output for a working API 29 image:

Forgot to mention, I'm using the emulator + system images that are offered from the GUI SDK Manager inside Android Studio, not the outdated preview emulator from this github repo.

Hi, im having the same issue here. I need to test my app on older API versions to verify functionality, but it appears that older API images simply crash on startup.
