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 put to date
VS2022 updates are all up to date

The Issues I get are

• The decryption operation failed, see inner exception. The decryption operation failed, see inner exception. (there is no inner exception)
• 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!.

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.
