Emulator Pie System Images with Play Store for x86 and x86_64 Stable, Emulator 28.0.17 Canary

Emulator Pie Play Store System Images for both x86 and x86_64 are now available in all channels.

Changes:
  • Fully CTS/CDD compliant with support for Wi-Fi peer-to-peer when using Emulator 28.0.17+.
  • Updated with all bug fixes in recent Pie Google APIs system images.
  • The Webview prebuilt has been updated to 69.0.3497.100 to fix compatibility issues and black screen problems when playing video.
  • Fixed flaky network connectivity issue caused by using wrong apns-conf.xml.
Emulator 28.0.17 is now available in the Canary and Dev channels.

Changes:
  • Added support in the host engine for Wi-Fi peer-to-peer. Two emulators can now talk to each other directly via Wi-Fi if using the latest Pie Play Store image. To use, start two AVDs with the same -wifi-server-port and -wifi-client-port arguments:
    • emulator @<server-avd-name> -wifi-server-port 9999
    • emulator @<client-avd-name> -wifi-client-port 9999
  • Added support for more webcams on Windows by taking any incompatible frame sizes and dynamically resizing them to fit the camera setting in the Android guest.
