Intel HAXM 6.0.4 is not compatible with MacOS

Question

I have MacOS 10.11 El Capitain installed. Today I received a notification that Intel HAXM 6.0.4 is available, and the Android SDK Manager suggested that I remove Intel HAXM 6.0.3. I have done it.

But now I got a message that Intel HAXM 6.0.4 is not compatible with MacOS.

Is there any way to return the old version 6.0.3? Or is there an alternative?

As described in Issue , you can reinstall Intel HAXM 6.0.3 with the built-in Android Studio SDK Manager.

Answer 3

You can also reinstall from the command line (I assume you have the "android" executable in your path):

• list all available packages, including outdated and obsolete ones, with android list sdk -a

• Browse the list of "Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM Installer), version 6.0.3" (for me it was No. 172).

• Install it using android update sdk -a -u -t 172

Parameter Explanation:

-a checks all packages

-u runs the command without a user interface

-t tells the update command to only install packages that match the provided filter

172 - filter parameter. In this case, this is the package number from android list sdk -a , which we want to install.

You can also pass -n to perform a dry run if you want to check the filter options.
