We have recently been getting our Android build online and are running into some problems running automated simulator testing the way we do for iOS. I was curious as to whether or not we should hope to see x86 support for Android emulation any time soon. The ARM emulator extracts a pretty hefty performance penalty.

We understand the value that this would provide, and see how supporting x86 Android emulation would greatly speed up the Android emulator jobs on CircleCI. That being said, this feature behind other mission critical work on our list and is not being currently prioritized. As we see interest in the idea grow, we will revisit this in the future.
