Error launching application on Android SDK built for x86

Question

There are a least a dozen previously compiled and running flutter applets that suddenly will not compile under Android Studio or Intellij.

Even if i build a new default Flutter app i get this crash error:

Clearly something has changed .. plugins/dependencies have been upgraded/updated and the .gradle and .idea directories removed ... and projects rebuilt .. but nothing gets past this:

Launching lib/main.dart on Android SDK built for x86 in debug mode...

Answer 1

1. Open AVD Manager
2. Wipe Data (delete datas from emulator)
3. Open emulator
4. Try to run app

Answer 2

I had a similar error when trying to run my flutter application. What I did was:

1. Open AVD Manager
2. Press on the small arrow (next to the pen) corresponding to your preferred device
3. Select "Cold boot now"
4. Wait for the emulator to open and boot
5. Run your application

I hope that helps you!

Answer 3

Changing the emulator to cold boot rather than quick boot also seemed to resolve the problem. Rather than a complete wipe.

It's in advanced settings > emulated performance > boot option when editing a device in AVD.
