Check this answer: PANIC: Missing emulator engine program for 'x86' CPU. and Mac and "PANIC: Missing emulator engine program for 'arm' CPU."

For newer version of Android SDK, the emulator path should be /<xxx>/Android/sdk/emulator/emulator, make this path is the first path to be searched in our environment variable.

i.e. add this path to your environment variable PATH BEFORE /<xxx>/Android/sdk/tools/emulator

Or try to remove /<xxx>/Android/sdk/tools/emulator from your PATH variable.

Use x86_64 system images for emulator on Windows 10:

If you are using a mac make sure to put this in terminal:

./emulator -avd "Pixel_3_API_28"

Emulator program is in ~[user]/Library/Android/sdk/emulator directory.

It might be that Mac OS doesn't run 32bit applications anymore. When you change your simulator to 64 bit (x86_64) it will run fine:

Just install x86_64 version on emulator.
