I get this error message when trying to run the app:

PANIC: HOME is defined but could not find Nexus_5_API_22_x86.ini file in $HOME.android\avd (Note: avd is searched in the order of $ANDROID_AVD_HOME,$ANDROID_SDK_HOME.android\avd and $HOME.android\avd)

Hello,

Looking at this and this at stackoverflow and your error message lead me to believe that either your AVDs are stored somewhere weird, or your $HOME variable needs a / at the end of it. If you still need more help, could you post where you're keeping your AVDs and what your $HOME variable is(You can strip sensitive information out of those paths by filling putting placeholders. For example C:\Users<myUser>.android.avd)
