I am not an Android developer but I’d like to have a working Android Studio to debug some WebViews.
I’m on NixOS, I installed android-studio through Nixpkgs, and I’m letting Android Studio handle all its dependencies on its own. Virtualization is enabled, the emulator starts, but is then stuck at the Google loading screen. The logcat output is full of errors.

Is there something obvious I’m missing? I just open Android Studio and hit run, meaning I’m not using any special Nix Shell for this. Unfortunately my Android developer colleagues are all using MacOS so things Just Work© for them and they can’t really help me with this.
