Well you do have to close the emulator yourself first, to run it again.

We can’t detect if it is already running and also the emulator have to be started again each time.

So when you are done testing, just close it.

Or do you mean it hangs or something?

Seems strange to me. I don’t have to do that with iOS. I also don’t have to close emulator when using Android studio.

I’m seeing now why my workflow has been to use android studio and Xcode.
