## Requirements



### Android Studio



To run Android emulators you need to have Android studio and already created the Android Virtual Devices.



Add the Android Studio emulator script to your settings in Visual Studio Code:  

You can either set the default path or specify a specific path for each operating system. The default path will always be the fallback.  

    Default: `"emulator.emulatorPath": "~/Library/Android/sdk/emulator"`  

    Mac: `"emulator.emulatorPathMac": "~/Library/Android/sdk/emulator"`  

    Linux: `"emulator.emulatorPathLinux": "~/Android/Sdk/emulator"`

    Windows: `"emulator.emulatorPathWindows":`  

      `"\\Sdk\\emulator"`  

      or  

      `"C:\\Users\\\\AppData\\Local\\Android\\Sdk\\emulator"`



Your visual studio code settings are found here:  

    File -> Preferences -> Setting -> User Setting -> Extensions -> Emulator Configuration



You now have the option to start Android emulators in cold boot modus. Activate it in your settings in Visual Studio Code:  

    Android Cold Boot: `true`



### Xcode



To run iOS emulators Xcode is required.



If your Xcode or simulator is not installed in the default location it is possible to set the correct path of the Simulator.app file:  

`"emulator.simulatorPath": "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Applications/Simulator.app"`
