Emulator 29.2.0 Stable

Emulator 29.2.0 is now available in all channels. Changes versus previous stable, 29.1.12:
  • UI for controlling multiple displays has been added to the Extended Controls under the "Displays" tab. This requires the latest revision of the Android 10 (Q) system images. The UI allows the user to more easily add secondary displays.
  • Known issue: Some apps do not work as expected on secondary displays or when a secondary display is set to 4K resolution.

  • Emulator icons rebranded to reflect new Android colors.
  • Vulkan 1.1+ is now required to use the emulator with Vulkan on Windows. We noticed crashes from older GPUs + Vulkan driver versions incorrectly advertising 1.1 function pointers.
  • Fixed failure to load snapshot while emulator is running on recent Android 10 (Q) images.
  • Fixed crash when launching the emulator with -screen touch. The screen type is now exclusively multi-touch.
  • Fixed issue where Alt-Tab would send an extra Alt event to the guest.
  • Vulkan: Added support for syncobj-based external fences.
  • gRPC service: Added metrics tracking for opt-in users. More background on gRPC support. Container scripts for quick setupUpdated documentation
