Thanks @fabian! My main question was, if AndroidStudio with Juce under Windows is still discouraged (as the sticky post still says this). I got it running meanwhile under Windows 10 with the defaults (=min. SDK 23) but with an Emulator with API 25. With API 23 emulators (tried 2 different ones), even the hello world example under Windows crashes reproduceably (with juce A/libc: Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 2, fault addr 0xeaeef000 in tid). So I would say, Windows might work now, but we should use an emulator \>= API25. Does this sound reasonable? ---

Yes, that sounds very reasonable. In fact, I’ve always had issues with the emulator under windows - especially when trying to use opengl: any app using opengl (like JUCE) would just crash (probably the crash you are seeing). I then started using the built-in VM of Windows Pro (which supports Android) and that seemed to work a bit better. But haven’t tried newer API versions in the android emulator. Thanks for the tip. ---

Just fire up the Android emulator from Visual Studio. You will need a Windows Pro license though. ---

Interesting. Is that in community also or just paid versions? ---
