When using VS Windows in a VM on a Mac, you can't run Android emulators directly on the Windows VM. You need to run them on the Mac and tunnel the socket connection to from Windows to the Mac.

This page has doc on those steps: Is it possible to connect to Android emulators running on a Mac from a Windows VM? - Xamarin | Microsoft Learn. The steps are fine, but this Xamarin doc should really be copied to .NET MAUI, as MAUI users can have the same issue. With VSMac deprecated, this scenario is becoming more common. That doc should probably be linked to from this page: Enable hardware acceleration for the Android emulator (Hyper-V & AEHD) - .NET MAUI | Microsoft Learn

There are aspirations to automate this at some point. But until that product feature exists, making the doc with manual steps more discoverable as part of MAUI doc is a cheap improvement.
