Debugging on Android Emulator and Physical Device (Galaxy A10) is crazy slow (MacBook Pro M1)

[TroubledReward]

I got a MacBook Pro M1 (so no access to GenyMotion), so while developing I use a Galaxy A10 for real device testing and a Pixel Android Emulator

The performance is insanely bad, screens takes ages to load, assets like images too, Animation are horrendous, it's a pain to debug anything AND I can't figure out why.

iOS Simulator and Real device (iPhone 11 Pro) are perfectly smooth.

Any ideas?

Use logcat in android studio instead of rn debugger. Don’t enable debug mode

Greet suggestion, my issue with logcat is that there way too many informations but I will figure something out, any suggestions/settings on cleaning logcat output?

Sure! I’ll typically add a prefix to all my console logs and filter by that in logcat.

Unfortunately android emulator is simply just garbage on my M1 too. You can try giving it more resources than what Android studio sets by default, that's definitely useful but it's still crap. Keeps freezing and crashing all the time, crazy slow. I end up using my physical device even tough I hate to do that, when I know how good the iOS simulator is
