I have been trying to create a ChromeOS Emulator using Android Studio running on Windows 11 machine. While I got some links online to do the same, the URLs mentioned there for ChromeOS repository and system-image doesnt seem to work. Android Studio gives an error saying 'IO exception while downloading manifest'. Can someone help in creating a ChromeOS emulator on a windows machine using Android Studio ?

Links used(for reference): Repository - https://storage.googleapis.com/chrome_os_emulator/addon2-1.xml System Image - https://storage.googleapis.com/chrome_os_emulator/sys-img2-1.xml

  • It did not work anymore on macOS either. Because these two XML files are missing now. You can try these two URL with your browser. – StoneLam Sep 16 '22 at 14:29
  • @StoneLam which URLs? you posted nothing, I'd also like to know where to get the system images from – Raul G Oct 09 '22 at 18:24
  • @RaulG https://storage.googleapis.com/chrome_os_emulator/addon2-1.xml and https://storage.googleapis.com/chrome_os_emulator/sys-img2-1.xml, Android Studio try to parse the content of these URLs to understand where to download the ChromeOS images. However, they are no longer available now. – StoneLam Oct 10 '22 at 13:24

You can get Desktop AVD now:

Taken from https://chromeos.dev/en/posts/desktop-avd-in-android-studio#try-out-the-desktop-avd

This is the closest how I get to run the ChromeOS emulator without Chromebook.
