'Android Tiramisu Privacy Sandbox Preview emulator does not start

I'm interested in trying out the SDK Runtime environment that is going to be a major change among the advertising SDKs coming soon.

I wanted to start the emulator with this, but when trying to do this I get stuck on a black screen. The logs I receive are as follows:

INFO    | Android emulator version 31.2.10.0 (build_id 8420304) (CL:N/A)
WARNING | unexpected system image feature string, emulator might not function correctly, please try updating the emulator.

I have followed the instructions in described here: https://developer.android.com/design-for-safety/privacy-sandbox/setup, but no luck - cannot see any newer version of emulator.

How can I get this system image to work?



Solution 1:[1]

It seems I wasn't running the newest version of the emulator tool indeed.

I needed to use Android Studio Preview to be able to see a new update available to this tool, then I updated to 31.3.7.

From now on I'm able to run the Tiramisu Privacy Sandbox Preview emulator, although the same warning about updating is being logged.
