The emulation software enables ARM64-based Android apps to run on a Mac. Similar to the virtualization of Microsoft’s Windows operating system on Apple’s M1 devices, the native hardware virtualization of the M1 chips via Qemu is also used here. According to Google, however, the presentation is only a first preview version of the emulator.
The Internet giant Google has an emulator presented, which makes running Android applications on the latest Mac generation consisting of Mac Mini, Macbook Pro 13 inch Macbook Air and possible. The decisive factor here is Apple’s new System-on-a-Chip (SoC) M1 based on ARM. In contrast, the emulator will not work on Apple devices that are still equipped with Intel CPUs. Google releases an emulator that enables Android apps to be used on Apple’s new M1 Macs. However, the technology does not work in conjunction with Apple computers that use an Intel processor.
