I was able to install Intel HAXM drivers on my Mac using the instructions provided in. There might be other (better) solutions to this, but I have successfully managed to start the emulator this way. Essentially you need to disable the security protection on kext before trying to install the HAXM drivers. To do that, you need to run csrutil enable -without kext But, note that this command will only work on Recovery OS, which means that you need to restart your Mac and hold command + R until the Apple logo is displayed. Next, you need to go to Utilities Terminal and run the csrutil command. Restart your Mac and log in, then go to download the latest Intel HAXM driver.
Unzip if needed, edit the silentinstall.sh file and search for the 10.12 OS version. You will find it on the line which should look like this for v in 10.8 10.9 10.10 10.11 10.12 You need to add the 10.13 version after 10.12 (separated by space, just like the rest). Save the file and open a Terminal at this location.

Run./silentinstall.sh and that should be it. To be sure it works, you can also run sudo kextload -bundle-id com.intel.kext.intelhaxm.

Now your emulator should work. In order to re-enable the kext security protection, you need to restart your Mac in Recovery OS, open a Terminal window and run csrutil enable. You can use Google's 6.2.1's silentinstaller.sh to properly install HAXM on High Sierra: Otherwise use Android Studio's SDK Manager to download and install it for you: This was not introduced until 6.2.1(Google Distribution only) which looks like a hotfix from the 6.2.0 version which would throw the following message: HAXM silent installation only supports macOS from 10.8 to 10.12! If you don't want to use HAXM, you can use the Hypervisor.Framework by ensuring you have installed Android Emulator 26.1.3 Documentation The emulator is now fully compatible with macOS 10.13 High Sierra through either Hypervisor.Framework or HAXM 6.2.0. To verify that Intel HAXM is running, open a terminal window and execute the following command: kextstat grep intel If Intel HAXM is operating correctly, the command will show a status message indicating that the kernel extension named com.intel.kext.intelhaxm is loaded. Try to stop and stat again HAXM., than verify it works correctly. To stop Intel HAXM, use the following commands: sudo kextunload -b com.intel.kext.intelhaxm To start Intel HAXM, use the following commands: sudo kextload -b com.intel.kext.intelhaxm.
