Emulator 28.0.20 Stable

Emulator 28.0.20 is now available in all channels. This is a maintenance release to fix issues both longstanding and arising from 28.0.16.

Changes versus the previous stable version (28.0.16):
  • Fixed freeze on snapshot load on Windows with certain models of Intel GPUs.
  • Fixed unauthorized ADB device state when using a non-standard ANDROID_SDK_HOME location.
  • Fixed crash when booting system images with CPU acceleration disabled on Windows.
  • Fixed pixelated emulator display. Downsampling should now be working.
  • Fixed an issue in macOS 10.14+ where the virtual scene camera mouselook control could become too sensitive due to an interaction with new accessibility security settings.
  • Fixed an error in timezone calculation that could result sporadically incorrect setting of the emulator clock.
  • Fixed rendering errors in various cocos2d and Unreal engine apps.
  • Added support in the emulator 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.
