Intel Android Atom(x86) emulator HANG Mac OS X 10.9

Question

Intel Android Atom(x86) emulator keeps hanging Mac OS X 10.9. As the HAXM release notes told which supports "OS X* 10.6 or 10.7 or 10.8 (32/64-bit)". I believe which does not support Mac OS X 10.9, but can anybody confirm? Thanks.

Answer 1

Intel just released a new patch for 10.9 which has fixed this issue. Download it below and your issue should be fixed after installation.

Also, before re-launching the emulator, make sure you delete all emulators and re-create them. If you have hard time deleting the emulators (if AVD Manager says it's running) you can delete them by following the steps below:

• Find the .android folder in your $HOME directory.
• In .android there should be a avd folder In the avd folder should be one or multiple .ini file and a corresponding *.avd virtual device folder.
• Delete both the .ini file and the .avd folder you want to get rid of.
• Return to the Android sdk and AVD manager.

It hangs also my OSX 10.9, so far no solution. But there were problems also on older X versions: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=37826
