' system images.Īlso your 'cross check' screenshot is showing what you have installed for API 25, not 21 as is shown in the other 2 screen shots. If you want to use the Google APIs system images you will have to select the target 'Google APIs (Google Inc.) - API 2' and then you should see the 'Google APIs Intel x86 Atom. So in your screenshot above, that looks correct, only the system images that DO NOT start with 'Google APIs. ' will only work with system images that do start with 'Google APIs. ' and targets that do start with 'Google APIs. ' will only work with system images that do not start with 'Google APIs. User21936 has been my experience that for targets that do not start with 'Google APIs. I've clearly done something with Android 6.0 in the past that allows me to create devices, but I have no idea what I did, since I can't get it to work for Android 7 or higher.Īnyone have suggestions on what I should be checking to allow me to properly create Android 7 AVDs? So in other words, I can only create Android 6 devices, but not Android 7 or higher. But, for all these Devices, if I pick a target of Android 6.0, I always have CPU/ABI options of 'Intel Atom (x86)' and 'Intel Atom (x86_64)'. 7.1, or 8.0, the CPU/ABI section says 'no system images installed for this target'. No matter what Device I pick, if I pick a target of Android 7.0. For Device, I've tried picking Nexus 10, Nexus 9, Nexus One, 10.1' WXGA Tablet, etc.

I click 'Create.' to try and create a virtual device. In Visual Studio for Mac, I'm going to Tools > Google Emulator Manager. Yet, with all this stuff I installed, I STILL can't create a virtual device for any of those android versions. My end goal is to have an phone emulator 'device' to test out Android projects on a Mac machine via Visual Studio for Mac, which is using Android 7.0, 7.1 or 8.0. 'Android SDK Platform', 'Google APIs Intel x86 Atom System Image', 'Google APIs Intel x86 Atom_64 System Image', 'Google APIS ARM EABI v7a System Image', 'Google APIs ARM 64 v8a System image', 'Google Play Intel x86 Atom System Image' 'Android SDK Platform', 'Google APIs Intel x86 Atom System Image', Google Play Intel x86 Atom System Image' On Mac OS X, I've used the Xamarin Android SDK Manager to download, via the Platforms tab, these things:
