Android Studio issue with HAXM

Question

I am trying android studio 3.1 canary 5 release And when i created an avd of nexus 5 api 27 getting issue/warning reported in macintosh 10.13.2

After looking over to issue as mentioned to install HAXM of >=6.2.1

7:21 PM Emulator: WARNING: HAXM 6.1.2 is installed. Please install HAXM >= 6.2.1 to fix compatibility issues on Mac.

Tried below intel site but couldn't find updated version above 6.2.1

Answer 1

I had the same problem. Every time I ran the emulator I got the same message: Emulator: WARNING: HAXM 6.1.2 is installed. Please install HAXM >= 6.2.1

Emulator was very slow and unresponsive. But Android Studio 3.0 indicated that I'd had the HAXM 6.2.1 installed. HAXM version above 6.2.1 is nonexistent, so I guess it's AS issue. I was able to fix the problem by simply uninstalling the HAXM and installing it again at the path:

Android Studio (3.0) => Tools => Android => SDK manager => SDK tools => Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)

Just unchecked that box, hit Apply and AS uninstalled the HAXM. Then clicked the same box and AS installed it again. Emulator is now running smooth and error message disappeared.
