Wait for Android emulator

If your Workflow contains the AVD Manager Step, you can use this Step to check if the Android emulator is booted or wait for it to finish booting.

Warning: This Step is not yet supported on Apple Silicon (M1) machines. If you cannot find a solution to this error, try running this Workflow on an Intel-based machine type.

Configuring the Step

To configure the Step:

1. Make sure to add this Step after the AVD Manager Step.
2. Add the emulator's serial to the Emulator serial input. By default, this is set to the $BITRISE_EMULATOR_SERIAL Env Var, which is generated by the AVD Manager Step.
3. Specify the number of seconds the Step should wait for the emulator to boot in the Waiting timeout (secs) input.
4. Specify the location of the Android SDK in the Android SDK path input.
