It also points out that the emulator images for API 24 and above are now Android CTS (Compatibility Test Suite) compliant and there are many other performance enhancements. Google's blog post highlights Quick Boot and the addition of the Play Store. But that's not going to be a problem anymore the Play Store app and services are now included with emulator images for API 24 (Nougat) and above. The official emulator images didn't ship with a version of the Play Store, which meant apps had to be sideloaded and some of the Google Play services weren't available. One of the challenges to developing apps with in-app purchases, or anything that requires the Play Store API, is that developers had to switch to a physical device to test them.

This is obviously dependent on underlying system performance and specs, but any computer will see significantly faster startup times. This is roughly comparable to waking a device from sleep mode.Īccording to Google, the re-engineered snapshot support allows the emulator to start up in under 6 seconds. Instead of performing a cold boot, a snapshot can be reopened to the state it was in prior to the last time it was closed. Quick Boot works more like the snapshot features of some mainstream virtual machine platforms.
