Enable VT-x On My Macbook Pro (Android Studio)

Viewed 2345

I am a new flutter dev and my emulator would only work once I enable Vt-x on my Bios settings. Still, I can't find where to enable it. I use a MacBook Pro 10.10.5 Yosemite. enter image description here

There could be several reasons that the emulator is not working. Vt-x should be enabled by default on MacOS AFAIK. I think your problem is, that you don't have HAXM installed.

In Android Studio go to

- Preferences
- Appearance & Behavior
- System Settings
- Android SDK
Go to tab SDK Tools
-> Check if Intel X86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) is installed (on the bottom)

By default it is not.

Additional info about how to install it can be found on: https://github.com/intel/haxm/wiki/Installation-Instructions-on-macOS
