Overview<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Starting from Flutter 3.35+<\/strong>, support for Android TV x86 emulator images<\/strong> has been deprecated\/removed. Applications built using newer Flutter versions (including the current project version) must be tested using x86_64-based Android TV or Google TV emulator images<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure a stable development and testing experience, all developers should migrate their Android TV emulators to an x86_64 system image<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Why This Change Is Required<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Legacy Android TV emulator images based on the x86<\/strong> architecture are no longer supported by recent Flutter releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using an unsupported emulator may lead to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Application startup failures<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Flutter engine initialization issues<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Unexpected runtime behavior<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Unsupported emulator warnings<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Inconsistent testing results<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Emulator Setup Instructions<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 1: Open Device Manager<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

    1. Launch Android Studio<\/strong>
    2. Navigate to Tools \u2192 Device Manager<\/strong>
    3. Click Create Device<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 2: Select TV Device<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

    1. Choose Television (1080p)<\/strong> or another Android TV device profile.
    2. Click Next<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Step 3: Select an x86_64 System Image<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

    Choose one of the following supported system images:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Recommended<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Android TV Intel x86.64 Atom System Image<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Alternative<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Google TV Intel x86.64 Atom System Image<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n

        Ensure that the ABI<\/strong> displayed in the details panel is x86_64<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

        Step 4: Create and Launch Emulator<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

        1. Complete the emulator creation wizard.
        2. Launch the newly created emulator.
        3. Run the Flutter application normally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Supported vs Unsupported Images<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

          Supported<\/strong> \u2705<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Android TV Intel x86.64 Atom System Image<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Google TV Intel x86.64 Atom System Image<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Unsupported<\/strong> \u274c<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Android TV Intel x86 Atom System Image<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Google TV Intel x86 Atom System Image<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Any Android TV emulator image using the x86<\/strong> ABI<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
              \n\n\n\n

              \"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n

              Select an Android TV or Google TV system image that uses the x86_64<\/strong> architecture. The recommended option is Android TV Intel x86.64 Atom System Image<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
