Android Emulator Error Message: "Panic: Missing Emulator Engine Program for 'X86' Cpus."

Android Emulator Error Message: PANIC: Missing emulator engine program for 'x86' CPUS.

If you are using macOS, add both Android SDK emulator and tools directories to the path:

Step 1: In my case the order was important, first emulator and then tools.

export ANDROID_SDK=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=$ANDROID_SDK/emulator:$ANDROID_SDK/tools:$PATH

Step 2: Reload you .bash_profile Or .bashrc depending on OS

Step 3: Get list of emulators available:
$emulator -list-avds

Step 4: Launch emulator from the command line and Replace avd with the name of your emulator $emulator @avd

Don't forget to add the @ symbol.

This was tested with macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 and Android Studio 3.1.2.

PANIC: Missing emulator engine program for 'x86' CPU. [Ionic Cordova run android]

Just tried and verified on your machine add below this under system variables Path, to solve this problem

C:/users/$Whome/AppData/Local/Android/Sdk/platform-tools
C:/users/$Whome/AppData/Local/Android/Sdk/tools
C:/users/$Whome/AppData/Local/Android/Sdk/emulator

Mac and PANIC: Missing emulator engine program for 'arm' CPU.

Just tried and verified on my Mac, to solve this problem, you need to specify the -kernel path manually. i.e.

$ ~/Library/Android/sdk/emulator/emulator  @Galaxy_Nexus_Jelly_Bean_API_16 -kernel ~/Library/Android/sdk/system-images/android-16/default/armeabi-v7a/kernel-qemu

Some references for you:

1. Emulator error: This AVD's configuration is missing a kernel file

2. https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-commandline

--- Edit ---

To avoid typing the -kernel argument every time, you can also copy the ~/Library/Android/sdk/system-images/android-16/default/armeabi-v7a/kernel-qemu file to ~/Library/Android/sdk/add-ons/addon-google_apis-google-16/images/armeabi-v7a.

Windows emulator.exe PANIC: Missing emulator engine program for 'x86' CPU

If you want to run emulator from command line,

<your-full-path>/emulator -avd 5.1_WVGA_API_28 

For newer version of Android SDK, the emulator path should be something as below:

/<xxx>/Android/sdk/emulator/emulator

For older version of Android SDK, the emulator path is as below:

/<xxx>/Android/sdk/tools/emulator

Try either one of above to see which is your case.
