Now when I start Android Studio and SDK Manager everything looks fine and all tools & packages appear as downloaded, but when I start an emulator to test my app, it says Get Google Play Services which I already have in my gradle as follows:
Emulator Android For Mac 10.10.5 Play

If you want to test your app on the emulator, expand the directory for Android 4.2.2 (API 17) or a higher version, select Google APIs, and install it. Then create a new AVD with Google APIs as the platform target.
I don't have an android phone, but i'm trying to develop for it anyway. The only way to test my application at the moment is to use the emulator, which I've read does not support audio recording. However, I read about the startup command "-audio " which allows audio input/output from your pc using the 'winaudio' backend. I haven't been able to get it to work though, is it possible to record using my pc's microphone? If so, what am I doing wrong?
Recording audio is possible at least in the standard 2.3.3 emulator on Windows 7; I have tried it and it works. However, the recorded audio did sound a bit weird (slow) in my case. I did not investigate the cause.
You need to add audio recording + playback support to the emulator (Android SDK and AVD manager -> Virtual devices -> Edit -> Hardware -> New). Then use the [MediaRecorder API][1] to record (MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC).
The Visual Studio Emulator for Android fits nicely into your existing Android development environment, with APK and file installation that is as simple as dragging and dropping items on the emulator screen. It also connects to Android Debug Bridge (ADB) so other popular Android development tools such as Eclipse and Android Studio can easily target the emulator.
Edit:Make sure that you use emulator with playstore is installed. Check if you have sdk manager -> sdk platforms -> Android 8 -> Google Play ... system image installed. Download it. Create new emulator using that image.
Try to navigate to settings--> apps in your emulator and then find Google Play Services. Check the version number and use it in you build.gradle. To update it with the latest version, you can see it in these documentation and SO question.
I know that emulating the game instead of paying for it might be a bit wrong, but I did pay for Chrono Cross and I always buy games legally, but since this is such an old game and kinda hard to find, I decided to play the SNES emulated version.
The needs of an Android developer using the Android emulator continuously expand. The latest emulator development from Google provides a system image for the Google Play Store, which includes a fully working Google Play Store application that you can use to manage applications through your Google account.
Note: Ensure that the tag.id is set to google_apis_playstore and that your Device is set to Nexus 5X or Nexus 5, since the Google Play System Images work best with these device skins. Using a different skin may not be compatible at the time of this writing.
In terms of performance, it played our test games just fine. We were even able to install apps and use those as well. MeMU Play looks and acts a lot like LDPlayer, so you can probably use either one interchangeably, depending on your needs.
MuMu Player is another gaming-focused emulator from NetEase, a developer of many popular mobile games like Onmyoji, Vikingard, and others. The latest beta version runs Android 9, and the previous stable version runs Android 6. There is also MuMu Nebula, which is a lighter version that you can use with low-end PCs. Installation is as easy as downloading a file and installing it. It should only take about five to ten minutes.
MuMu Player has a toolbar across the bottom of the app that works almost identically to LDPlayer and MeMU Play. You can install APKs, take screenshots, record videos, and map keys. This one also has good PC gamepad support. Otherwise, it works like any other emulator. You log into Google Play, download your games, and play them.
NoxPlayer was one of the original Android emulators and is still quite popular today. It runs Android 9 in beta as of the time of this writing, so the developers have done a good job keeping up. The installation process is easy. Just make sure you reject the optional offers. Once set up, you just log into Google Play and start doing your thing.
From there, it works and feels a lot like Bliss OS. You have a full Android-powered desktop. You can get Google Play as well, so it supports almost everything. There are also some extra features for gamers, like keyboard and gamepad support, script recording, and more. It played our test games with a few issues, but it may be related to my test PC running on older hardware.
Playing mobile games on PC lets you use your larger screen to see small text or details more easily, and mouse and keyboard support makes interacting with user interfaces much more accurate. Gaming-focused Android emulators also allow you to customize your control mapping on a per-game basis. Plus, your computer is usually plugged in and offers unlimited battery life, whereas your phone would likely overheat if it had to run a game for extended periods while being plugged in. Some of the more hardcore mobile gamers will also run their games in an Android emulator to give their phone a break or use it to multi-instance farm.
The last use of Android emulators is productivity. This is less common since most mobile productivity tools are also available on PC or Mac already. Plus, some Chromebooks are cheaper and better at running Android apps than emulators. However, some apps like Instagram limit functionality outside of the mobile space. Using social media apps via an Android emulator on a PC will also make it easier to upload and edit photos, text, etc.
Start the desired AVD, then drag the downloaded APK from your system folder(i.e., Downloads) onto the runningemulator, or install it using adb while the virtual device is running:adb install -r Google_Play_Services_for_AR_1.40.0_x86_for_emulator.apk
Support for these technologies was initially available in the v27.3.8 Android Emulator canary release and today we are releasing this set of preview features (AMD processor & Hyper-V support) on the stable channel for more feedback. Alongside this update, we have added additional speed improvements in loading emulator snapshots for those developers using the Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM).
On Intel x86-based computers, the Android Emulator will continue to use Intel HAXM by default. Intel HAXM is a mature and open-sourced hypervisor solution developed by Intel. Thanks to on-going development by Intel, the fastest emulator performance on Windows is still with Intel HAXM. To download the latest Intel HAXM v7.2.0, check for updates in the Android SDK Manager.
You mentioned this 2 years ago. I am running to the same issue today on Windows 11. The error I get is "The Version of Android on this device is to old to use Firebase" Please advice how I can fix this issue so that I can run MIT App inventor emulator on Windows 11. Thanks a lot
Oh! Ok I can look around and beg/borrow/steal one. During development I will use the Emulator. I am still yet to try the emulator out. Will reply to ABG's message when I get it working. Thanks ChrisWard
To make it easy for you to get started in the world of Android emulation, we teamed up with MEmu. Available as a quick, free download through our Armoury Crate utility, the MEmu Play emulator lets you use your powerful ROG hardware to play your favorite Android titles.
As it turns out, there are a variety of reasons to use an Android emulator. For one, developers can take advantage of emulators during app development for quick and convenient testing. Some people like to use their PC for communications apps so that they can keep their attention focused on one device. Other times, people want to access files on their PC using an Android app, and an emulator can make that happen.
Android emulators also play a role in the growing field of game streaming. Typically, people streaming a title like Fortnite will just load up the PC version of the game for their livestreams rather than its mobile version, but when they want to stream a mobile exclusive to Twitch, YouTube, or Mixer, they have to get more creative. There are a variety of ways to get this job done, but an emulator like MEmu allows streamers to load up their favorite Android games on the same device as their game-streaming software.
While all of these games will run on an Android smartphone or tablet, your ROG laptop is ready and waiting to provide you with the best Android gaming experience. After all, your gaming laptop has a large, bright screen, comfortable and precise input devices, and powerful hardware. WIth MEmu Play, the ROG hardware that already gives you a competitive edge in PC games can elevate your gameplay on the Android platform, too.
This article describes the most common warning messages and issuesthat occur while configuring and running the Android Emulator. Inaddition, it describes solutions for resolving these errors as well asvarious troubleshooting tips to help you diagnose emulator problems.
If you see an error about a failure to install the APK on the emulatoror a failure to run the Android Debug Bridge (adb), verify that theAndroid SDK can connect to your emulator. To verify emulatorconnectivity, use the following steps:
Open a command prompt and go to the folder where adb isinstalled. If the Android SDK is installed at its default location,adb is located atC:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe;if not, modify this path for the location of the Android SDK on yourcomputer.
If the virtual device you are running in the emulator does not haveGoogle Play Services or Google Play Store installed, this condition isoften caused by creating a virtual device without including thesepackages. When you create a virtual device (seeManaging Virtual Devices with the Android Device Manager),be sure to select one or both of the following options:
