mac android studio emulator crashes immediately

Flutter version 0.3.1 at /usr/local/google/home/maryxia/github-forks/flutter.Flutter (Channel beta, v0.3.1, on Linux, locale en_US.UTF-8)

I'm not sure if this is Flutter-IntelliJ-specific, my project-specific, Android Studio-specific, or something else, so feel free to move this issue. Subsequent development on this emulator, including hot reloads and restarts, works without any problems. This is fine - I can do ctrl + shift + a, and type 'AVD Manager' to bring up the AVD Manager. It shows up if I create a blank Android project, which is what I was doing to overcome this issue until I found this answer (I'm not sure if my projects are missing something but this is an example project where the AVD Manager disappears. points to Tools -> AVD Manager to view my devices. Try to open the AVD Manager to start the emulator from there. The emulator selector says, so I select a device I had made previously. With a fresh install of Android Studio 3+, with Flutter plugin and SDK configured, open an existing Flutter project. (I'm doing this on Linux right now but have seen the same behavior on MacOS)
