- Changed both build and test jobs from macos-latest to ubuntu-latest - macOS runners are ARM64 (Apple Silicon), cannot run x86_64 emulators - Added KVM acceleration enablement step for Ubuntu - Fixed stat command syntax for Linux compatibility - Improved package name extraction regex - Updated plan document with architecture fix notes
- Fix adb command not found by adding Android SDK tools to PATH - Fix AVD not found by setting ANDROID_SDK_HOME environment variable - Fix Windows AVD verification with robust string matching - Accept all SDK licenses including android-googlexr-license - Increase ADB timeout to 120s and add emulator health checks - Add debug output for AVD file locations - Remove local planning documents from repository
- Change BUILD_MODE default from Debug to Release - Remove expo-dev-client for Release builds to avoid Expo Dev UI - Ensures standalone production app without development tools

changed the title
The emulator was crashing with access violation (0xC0000005) when using swiftshader_indirect. This adds retry logic to try multiple GPU modes: 1. auto - Uses WHPX hardware acceleration if available 2. swiftshader_indirect - Software rendering fallback 3. guest - Last resort software rendering Each mode gets 45 seconds to start before falling back to the next.
- Clean up stale lock files before starting emulator - Kill orphaned emulator/QEMU processes between attempts - Restart ADB server for clean state - Use -wipe-data and -no-snapshot-load/-no-snapshot-save flags - Add -no-metrics to suppress metrics warning - Extend timeouts for more reliable startup - Remove temporary push trigger from non-Windows workflow
- Add Remove-EmulatorLocks helper function with null checks and try-catch - Fix 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' error in retry loop - Add more robust process cleanup between retry attempts - Restart ADB server between retry attempts - Kill both qemu and emulator processes on cleanup
Emulator optimizations: - Add -no-sim, -no-cache, -skip-adb-auth, -no-passive-gps flags - Use -netdelay none and -netspeed full for faster network - Use -screen no-touch (we use ADB commands) - Set -partition-size 2048 for faster wipe AVD config optimizations: - Lower resolution: 720x1280 instead of 1080x2400 - Lower density: 320 instead of 420 - Disable all sensors (proximity, magnetic, orientation, etc) - Disable cameras - Disable GPS in config - Smaller data partition (2G) Workflow changes: - Default to API level 30 (faster/more stable than 34) - Keep pixel_6 device profile GPU/Accel retry configurations: - Try swiftshader_indirect + auto accel - Try gpu off + auto accel - Try swiftshader_indirect + no accel - Try gpu off + no accel
The -partition-size 2048 was causing emulator startup failure because the Android emulator requires values between 10MB and 2047MB (exclusive). Error: partition-size (2048) must be between 10MB and 2047MB
