solution source-> https://stackoverflow.com/a/63244455/16412512 You can work around it as indicated here https://stackoverflow.com/a/59715169/1796802 : Create the file ~/.android/advancedFeatures.ini (for Windows users path should be C:\Users\Dane.android\advancedFeatures.ini) with the following content: Here's how to disable Vulkan apps to talk to the emulator.

# Add the following lines to ~/.android/advancedFeatures.ini (create this file if it doesn't exist already):
# Vulkan = off
# GLDirectMem = on

Currently, Andriod studio 3.5.1 doesn't support Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB (MacBook 2019). Please find more information here.

I have a 2018 MBP and this happens with that as well. – Manish Kumar Oct 31 '19 at 10:21
I have a 2017 MBP and it only happens if I create a custom resolution emulator device – psydj1 Apr 01 '20 at 11:43

For my case, I solved the issue by updating the "Android Emulator" to the latest version from Android Studio > Window > SDK Manager > SDK Tools (Ensure that Android Emulator is updated to the latest version).

In my case, I had to update/install my Intel VGA drivers. Although Nvidia was installed

Here the question is about Macbook. You cannot update Intel HD Graphics drivers on a Mac. Apple provides the drivers using Software Update. You should always have the latest drivers by keeping your Mac up to date. There are also no unofficial Intel HD Graphics drivers for Mac. Unfortunately, NVIDIA currently cannot release a driver unless it is approved by Apple. – Pravalika Sep 01 '20 at 00:15
