I've updated to version 01.06.07.02 (Beta), but the issue still persists. The simulator won't start, and the screen remains completely white for several minutes without loading anything.
I doubt it's just the 'Chinese' made phones. Can you all give us a feedback in what region your are located? Maybe that's a reason?
I'm from Brazil, so I don't believe this issue is related to my location.
Ok, we still do not see what the issue could be. Can some users report if the 'Play protect feature' is enabled?
This can be checked here.
Google automatically protects apps being distributed by Google Play. From time to time they enhance and change this method. This might be a possible reason.
I've already tried reinstalling the simulator, leaving and rejoining the Public Beta Program, restarting my phone, clearing the app cache, closing all background apps, and enabling/disabling Google Play Protect, but none of these steps resolved the issue.
All users experiencing this issue, can you please report back to us the Android version and if the device is using the original Google Apps?
I'm using a vivo X100 Pro running Android 16 with Google Mobile Services.
