To fix the error **"unable to initialize the Unity Engine Gfx api"** when running a Unity application on an Android emulator, follow these steps:

---

### 🔧 1. **Configuring the graphics of the emulator**

- **Change the emulator graphics driver**:

• In AVD Manager, open the settings of your Pixel emulator → section **Emulated Performance** → **Graphics**.

• Use **ANGLE (D3D11)** for Windows or **SwiftShader** (if the error occurs on Android 8.1).

- Avoid **Automatic** and **Native GPU** (often cause conflicts with Unity).

- **Create a new emulator**:

• Select Android 13 (API 33) with the image **Google Play** → screen resolution 1080x1920.

• Turn off the **Play Store** (sometimes causes additional load).

---

### 🛠️ 2. ** Unity Configuration**

- **Build Settings**:

• In **Player Settings** → **Other Settings**:

• Specify **Minimum API Level 26** (Android 8.1) and **Target API Level 33**.

• Disable **Auto Graphics API** → manually add **OpenGLES3**.

• In **Graphics** → **Vulkan** → uncheck the box (emulators don't support it well).

- **AI Foundation Framework**:

• Make sure that the latest version (2023.1+) is installed in **Package Manager**.

- If you are using neural network models, check their compatibility with the x86 architecture of the emulator.

---

### 💻 3. **System requirements**

- **Enable hardware acceleration**:

• For Windows: activate **Hyper-V** or **Windows Hypervisor Platform**.

• For AMD CPU: Enable **SVM** in the BIOS.

- **Allocate more resources**:

• Emulator RAM: minimum **4096 MB**.

• Storage Size: **8 GB** (for Android 13).

---

### 🐞 4. ** Diagnostics**

- **Check the Unity logs**:

- Open **Window → Analysis → Log**.

• Look for errors like `EGL_INIT_FAILED` or `Failed to create OpenGL ES 3.0 context'.

- **Test it on a real device**:

• If the error persists, the problem is in the Unity code or settings (for example, AI Framework shaders require GPU extensions).

---

#### 🔄 5. **Emergency measures**

- **Rebuild the project**:

``bash

# Delete

the rm -rf Library cache/ Temp/ ProjectSettings/ProjectVersion.txt

``

- **Use the Genymotion emulator** (more stable for Unity):

- Create a device with Android 13 and graphics **OpenGL ES 3.0**.

• Enable the **Use Dedicated GPU** option in the settings.
