I highly recommend if like me you have a problem with your B4AManager after updating in 8.50

It's great to have the additional skins but I think for some devices some elements are missing, e.g. Pixel 2, I get: Device definition not found: Phone Pixel 2.

Also, platform 28 is still now working for me. It gets further than before but only to the Android booting screen: the Google G with the horizontal progress bar underneath it.

I use Nexus 5x. So did not notice a problem before.

Unfortunatelly, the situation is more complex. All skins are Ok (copied from Android Studio). The reason is another.
B4A avdmanager executes avdmanager.bat - list devices and creates an array of devices. And there is no Pixel 2 / Pixel 2 XL in this list.

I don't know, what does Android Studio. But should be a solution. I plan to investigate command line parameters.

PS. Android-28 version 5 works on my PC. There are bugs in emulator, but in general works.
