Testing how your app performs on multiple devices just got a lot easier with the Android Emulator. In case you missed it, the team recently introduced a new Wi-Fi network stack that creates a shared virtual network, bridging all running instances on the same host machine. That means you won’t have to manually manage port forwarding to connect two emulators, or work around data loss and connection drops. This new capability is enabled by default in the latest Android Emulator release (36.5), so all you have to do is update to the latest version to start testing!
Such a valuable feature 🙏 🎉
