I’m writing an Android App. my first one in a while. Long story short I needed to update the Android SDK. No problem methinks, but there are many.

I installed Android Studio with no problem. Pretty straightforward. But I cannot get an emulator to download no matter what I try. I need API34 (apparently) for maps and GPS to work in the emulator.

• Windows 11 updates are all up to date
• VS2022 updates are all up to date

The Issue I get within VS2022 is

• The decryption operation failed, see inner exception. The decryption operation failed, see inner exception.
  (there is no inner exception that I can see/find)

If I download Android Studio and try that way. I get

• An error occurred while preparing SDK package Android Emulator: Tag mismatch!.
• An error occurred while preparing SDK package Google Play Intel x86_64 Atom System Image: Tag mismatch!.

That last error, I can download the files manually but I have no idea where they should go 🙁

I have tried on two separate Windows 11 PC’s both with loads of ram and disk space. My internet is running about 300mb/100mb so nice and quick.

Every article I found, including some quite detailed ones don’t solve the problem.

I read there was a May 2024 update.

Is anyone else having this problem and how did you solve it?

Alternatively is there an Android App that can simulate as GPS route (gpx, kml or csv) as that’s the bit I really need to test.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
