Cuttlefish on Mac: Meta ports Android's virtual device framework to Apple silicon

Cuttlefish on Mac: Running Android’s Virtual Device Framework Natively on Apple Silicon

AI summary

Meta has ported Cuttlefish, AOSP's virtual-device framework, to run natively on Apple silicon Macs, reviving QEMU support and making vhost-user buildable on macOS. The work adds HVF memory-region tracking slots, a native Cocoa display with BGRA rendering and mouse-click-as-touch, plus Darwin build and code-signing support. Meta says the unified platform cuts maintenance and infrastructure costs and lets developers run the same Cuttlefish devices used in CI.
