Panic: Missing Emulator Engine Program For 'x86' Cpu. Mac 3,6/5 9233 reviews

If you've used the Android SDK, you've probably noticed that Intel Atom x86 system images for the emulator have been available for a while now. You might have been frustrated with the fact that the system image didn't include access to any of the Google APIs. I have good news: Google has released an x86 system image for the Android SDK that includes the Google APIs (supporting API 19/Android 4.4.2). That means you can now test your apps that use Google APIs on an x86 virtual device image (and take advantage of the huge hardware acceleration speed boost you get from our HAXM driver if your development system has Intel VT virtualization technology).

PANIC: Missing emulator engine program for 'x86' CPUS. It turns out, the Android SDK is looking for an emulator that does not exist after the install: It’s looking for emulator-x86 instead of emulator64-x86. I'm trying to run the emulator in OSX 10.10 with x86 acceleration. This reddit thread's solution did not work either.

Here's what you need to do to get it.

Get the x86 System Image with Google APIs

To get the x86 system image with Google APIs, open up the Android SDK Manager window in Eclipse, Go to the 'Android 4.4.2/API 19' section, and install both 'Intel x86 Atom System Image' and 'Google APIs (x86 System Image)', like so:

Create (or Edit) an Android Virtual Device With The New Image

Once the new system image is installed, you'll need to create a new Android Virtual Device (AVD) for the emulator to use (you can also edit an existing AVD, but I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader). Open up the Android Virtual Device Manager window in Eclipse, then click New to create a new virtual device, configured to use the new system image, like so:

The important setting is 'Target:'. Make sure you select 'Google APIs x86 (Google Inc.) - API Level 19'. You can configure the other settings according to your needs.

Bonus: Use HAXM To Get Hardware Acceleration of x86 Emulator Images

If you're not already using it, you're going to want to get our HAXM (Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager) tool, which can drastically speed up the emulator in the Android SDK. From the product page:

The Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (Intel® HAXM) is a hardware-assisted virtualization engine (hypervisor) that uses Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) to speed up Android app emulation on a host machine. In combination with Android x86 emulator images provided by Intel and the official Android SDK Manager, HAXM allows for faster Android emulation on Intel VT enabled systems.

If you're developing on a machine with an Intel CPU that has VT (most do - go here if you need to check) and you have installed HAXM, you'll know it's working if you see the following when you start your Android Virtual Device:

If you see 'HAX is working and emulator runs in fast virt mode', you're all set - you should notice a significant improvement in the speed of emulated devices using x86 Android system images.

Need Help?

If you have any questions or need help with getting these system images installed, or getting the emulator or HAXM working, please let us know.

Ionic version: (check one with 'x')
[ ] 2.x
[ X ] 3.x
[ ] 4.x

I'm submitting a .. (check one with 'x')
[ X ] bug report
[ ] feature request

Current behavior:
When I try ionic cordova run android and then I see this 'PANIC: Missing emulator engine program for 'x86' CPU.'

Expected behavior:
This will launch a real device or virtual device to run the app.

Steps to reproduce:

I have removed entire Android Studio and all files and folder on MacOs and then I have installed the last version of Android Studio and after that I have created a test application on Android Studio to test it and finally The app runs correctly with virtual device. Later I have created an App with Ionic and I have tried to test it, but I get this error 'PANIC: Missing emulator engine program for 'x86' CPU.'

Other information:

Ionic info: (run ionic info from a terminal/cmd prompt and paste output below):

I encountered the same problem, I refer to this method to solve the problem

Not sure if you've fixed your problem but check which system image your android virtual device is using (you can check on android studio under the 'API' column in the AVD list). Make sure you're not using anything too new, I tried using 28 and 27 and neither worked but 26 (Android Oreo 8.0) did. Cheers!

Had the same problem, solved it with these lines added to .bash_profile:

export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=/Users//Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/emulator:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/tools:$PATH

@ElLocoNutz , it is not working for me, Ran both commands, still the same output.

Ok my wrong, apparently I used the wrong expression when I wrote the path, it should look like this:

Where [username] is the name of your user folder.

But don't just run those commands or the change won't stay. You should add those lines to your '.bashrc' or '.bash_profile' and after that you need to reload the bash, restart the console or source the edited file, e.g.
'me@localhost:~$ source .bashrc'

But keep in mind those are the folders that worked for me, your system might be using different ones, check the folder before you change anything, you should find there the emulator.

This issue has been automatically identified as an Ionic 3 issue. We recently moved Ionic 3 to its own repository. I am moving this issue to the repository for Ionic 3. Please track this issue over there.

If I've made a mistake, and if this issue is still relevant to Ionic 4, please let the Ionic Framework team know!

Thank you for using Ionic!

Free microsoft program downloads. It goes beyond just database creation though and can easily be used as a powerful but easy to use and even as a. Ninox is a slick database creation software for Mac and iOS and although it can’t import Microsoft Access file on macOS, it has taken the complex mechanics behind database creation and made it more accessible than Microsoft Access.
