Hiya there! You're probably getting this error 'coz you IDE or Development Environment requires a few hardware accelerations like sensors, GPS accelerators, SD Card accelerators etc. All the hardware accelerations ship with Emulators. Hence, your IDE or Android Studio lacks packages to fire the Emulator. Also, you might try using a real physical Android device. Most of the time I use my Pixel phone instead of Emulators, which is actually a better option than an Emulator.

To install an APK on your real device, you only have to install AVD locally and run the Gradle tools to build the APK and let it install on your physical device. But do remember to enable developer settings on your physical device and enable USB debugging in developer settings on your phone. And If everything goes well, you won't have to install Emulators at all.

Here is the link that can help you a lot: Run on a Real Device

I hope it helped!
