Google recently launched a dedicated ‘Chromeos.dev’ web page for bringing all Chrome OS-related news and resources in one place. Alongside the website’s launch, Google announced Android Emulator support for select Chromebooks. This way, developers can test apps without external hardware.
It is worth noting that these are the initial list of supported devices and the support is likely to expand to more devices with better hardware, like the recently-launched Dell Latitude 7410 Chromebook Enterprise.
Google started supporting Android Studio with version 3.5. The recommended specifications for running Android Studio on Chromebooks include at least 8 GB of RAM, 4 GB of disk space, 1280 x 800 minimum screen resolution, and Intel i5 or higher. If you’re interested to develop apps and games on Chrome OS devices, you may visit ChromeOS.dev website to find useful resources and guides to get started.
