When I launch my Android emulator on Mac, it just comes up with the "Android" screen and won't go any further. Is there a source for emulator definitions that reliably work?

When I try to launch an app (from Visual Studio Mac), the specific error message is

Error: Could not access the Package Manager. Is the system running?

That said, I've found this to be an ongoing problem, in the sense that the emulator manager has too many choices. All I really care about is getting an emulator at a specific API level that actually launches, preferably quickly.

My Mac is running Sierra 10.13.4. It's a 2013 Macbook Pro with 16GB of ram.

There is something below `AVD details` popup. Did you check what is the error message? Is it same what you have posted above in question? – Vikasdeep Singh May 28 '18 at 13:13
You could try using the predefined Device Definitions, preferably an x86, no? – Hichame Yessou May 28 '18 at 13:14
