I am running macOS catalina on my macbook pro. I would like to run the AVD manager Graphical User interface without running Android Studio.
I am aware that there are similar questions, like this one: How to run AVD Manager on Mac
However, they are different from what I am trying to achieve here:
I want to run the Graphical User Interface, not the command line tool.
I want to run it on my mac running Catalina OS, not Windows/Linux machines.
I have tried running the avd-manager in $ANDROID_HOME/sdk/tools/; (without passing any other command line arguments)
It gives the following exception:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/annotation/XmlSchema

Also, If I have missed a question here on StackOverflow that answers my question fully and which is up to date, I would really appreciate it if anyone could point me there.
