nativescript-cli: Stuck on starting emulator on Android
Issue
I have noticed that from time to time when trying to “run” an {N} application on Android via tns emulate android the terminal gets stuck after:
Starting Android emulator with image Nexus_5X_API_24
and after a flew minutes this error is shown:
Cannot run your app in the native emulator. Increase the timeout of the operation with the --timeout option or try to restart your adb server with ‘adb kill-server’ command. Alternatively, run the Android Virtual Device manager and increase the allocated RAM for the virtual device.
Doing the mentioned adb kill-server or timeout increasing does not resolve the issue.
Workaround
Manually start the Android emulator via Android Studio and use tns run android

@Plamen5kov Yes of course, finding the source and possibly fixing it so that the execution is not getting stuck is the first concern that should be taken into account. Adding a way to change the default device was as mentioned earlier nothing more than a improvement suggestion rather than a fix for this issue.
I’m with @rosen-vladimirov, the default should use the newest emulator installed. We have a way for the user to use a different emulator using
--deviceflag, and this flag is described in the help of thetns emulatecommand.
