I’m having problems getting the Appium Inspector to launch for my Android app. I’m on a Mac, using Appium Server 1.4.13. I’ve got an Android emulator configured, called “Nexus4” which appears to operate fine, although it shows up as “emulator-5554” when I do a “adb devices” command. When trying to use this emulator with the Appium Inspector, it always fails.
With the Appium config set to “Nexus4” for AVD (and Device name)- when I launch the inspector,
it launches the Nexus4 emulator, but scrolls the below errors:
info: [debug] 1 device(s) connected
info: [debug] 1 emulator(s) connected

Nexus4
info: [debug] Emulator Nexus4 not running
warn: Emulator never became active. Going to retry once
It throws the below error window and closes/relaunches the Emulator, and shows the same messages as above.
Could not launch Appium Inspector. Be sure Appium server is running …
With the Appium config is set to “emulator-5554” for AVD/Device name, the server can’t find the emulator and shows the below messages.
error: Unable to start Emulator: PANIC: HOME is defined but could not find emulator-5554.ini file in $HOME/.android/avd
(Note: avd is searched in the order of $ANDROID_AVD_HOME,$ANDROID_SDK_HOME/.android/avd and $HOME/.android/avd)

Any ideas what might be wrong? I’ve had problems getting my Mac to see my Android device, so I thought that I’d try an emulator, but still having no luck. Thanks
