emulator crashes

When I connect to the emulator it starts then I get an error message telling me the emulator exe has stopped working



Do you have BlueStacks loaded on your PC?   BlueStacks creates serious issues for running AI2.
Do you have an AVG, Eset or AVAST virus checker.  Some versions of these products inhibit running the emulator unless (in the case of AVG) the Advanced Link settings on the software are set to allow AI2 communication.


One of the following  possibly applies to your code (all may not apply to your code):

1)  You have coding errors in your blocks.  In the Blocks editor, look in the lower 
left for the yellow and red triangle icons.    If the red icon has a value larger than 0, 
you have a serious coding error.  Find the block in your code that has a red triangle and 
fix it.   Red triangles always inhibit creating an apk or running a project in the 
emulator or possibly creating an aia file.     Yellow triangles are more forgiving, 
however, sometimes, these need to be fixed because they trip an internal warning and 
you do not get a compile, so fix the yellow triangles too.

2) Your source file (the aia file) is larger than the 5Mb limit allowed in AI2 or you 
put images or other resources in your Media (resources) that you do not use in the app. 
 All the images and sounds in resources count toward the 5Mb limit.    You can program 
apps larger than 5Mb in the browser, but they will not compile and might not run in the 
emulator or the project may not save as an aia. If this is the case you need to reduce 
the size of your image and/or sound files.   Most image files can be made quite small 
by resizing them using a photo manipulation program on your PC to less than 50Kb each.

3)  You might have more than 10 Screens in your app.  AI2 becomes unstable when more 
than ten screens are used.

4) You might have set a Screen icon for your project that is too large. Use an image 
sizeof 48x48 px or 96x96px instead and only use jpg or png images.  *.ico files are not 
supported.

5) You did not code the entire project using App Inventor 2.   If you used one of the 
third-party AI2 clones,you might not be able to load a Project into the AI2 compiler or 
create an apk with the standard AI2.

6) If you incorrectly modified the project's Manifest files, you may have issues.

7)  Sometimes, if you have LOTS of Layouts on a single screen,  the apk might not 
compile.

8)  or the network you are using is overloaded (possibly a school network), or you have other applications running in the background, or your virus checker is doing a scan.  Sometimes, just trying a few minutes later will give you a more favorable response.

9) if you have BlueStacks on your PC could be a serious issue.  The emulator on AI2 cannot run unless BlueStacks is disabled and all of its processes are shut down.


The problem could be something else, like running an old version of Companion ...in this instance,   Projects > Hard Reset , then if there are issues a pop up will appear (if no issues, nothing will happen...just smile).  When the pop up appears, follow the instructions very carefully, then reboot your PC and try again.

Why in your instance did the emulator stop working?   Don't know.   Usually this happens when one of the nine above occurs.  Does one of these apply.  Be aware,
sometimes, closing the browser, shutting down the PC and restarting fixes some issues like this. Sometimes moving from Chrome to Firefox seems to have an effect or vice versa.    I guess the software just gets tired or confused?
