*Note: Most articles I've read give instructions for the Windows environment to be able to see an emulator on Mac, I would like it the other way around (Emulator on Mac -> Windows). I am guessing that in the 'Dev Settings'->'Debug server host & port for device', there is an address that needs to be set in order for the emulator to communicate locally with the Mac, which will then communicate with Parallels, but I'm not sure. The new version of Parallels 16.5 that arrived in April 2021 does theoretically mean it is possible to run Windows on an M1 Mac, but since it's not easy to get hold of the ARM version of Windows. It comes back with an error 'Network Request Failed'. However, the Android emulator (Genymotion) does not. On Mac, I am able to hit the Windows dev environment using a REST client and from the iOS simulator. On Mac, I have modified the hosts file to include Parallels & Windows 7 PC5250 Emulator iseries access PCSWS037. On the Windows machine, I have modified the hosts file to include 127.0.0.1 I have a Mac Air with OS 10.7.2 running Parallels 7 with Windows 7 with PC5250 to access AS/400. The goal is to have these devices make requests to the Web API project in the Parallels environment (Again, iOS is good, Android is the problem).

I also have Parallels installed running Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2015 (Shared Network setting in Parallels), which runs my Web API project on Local IIS. On the Windows machine, I have modified the hosts file to include. I have Android Studio installed with all the necessary dependencies from the SDK Manager, and the project builds and starts up successfully on both Android emulator and iOS simulator. The third option, which Parallels Desktop also shares, allows you to run individual Windows apps alongside Mac apps while keeping Windows itself hidden. Or you can run it in a window so that the whole Windows interface runs like a Mac app. I am developing a React Native mobile app in a Mac environment for both iOS and Android devices (iOS is running perfect as usual). You can run it full-screen so that your Mac looks like a Windows PC.
