I am unable to launch an Android virtual device in Android Studio on MacOS Big Sur 11.7.10. When I launch the virtual device, a pop-up appears saying "Please file a bug against Android Studio". I have attached a screenshot of the window where we chose the system image. On the right-hand side, we can see a warning for "Unknown Error." I have clicked the troubleshooting option, but the same pop-up appears and says "Please file a bug against Android Studio." I have tested multiple versions of Android Studio, but I am facing the same issue. Is there a way around this to solve this bug?[enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/2fzVqwUM.png)
I have tested multiple versions of Android Studio, but I am facing the same issue. Is there a way around this to solve this bug?
I was able to debug it by launching the AVD manually through cmd. The bug was as follows:
The Android Emulator was using system libraries (like libc++
) that expect macOS 12 or later, which is incompatible with version (macOS 11.7.10).
Steps to debug it:
Option 1: Update macOS
If possible, upgrade your Mac to macOS 12 Monterey or later.
Option 2: Downgrade Emulator Version
Go to the official emulator archives and follow all the steps

Download a version before December 2023, which should still support macOS 11.
