Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the official Rive React Native example app using Rive 9.7.0 on the listed Pixel 6, Pixel 7, and Samsung S21 Android emulators. Compare the Android behavior with the working iOS simulator and determine whether an API level, graphics mode, or device configuration makes the animations render; document the confirmed limitation or configuration.

Description
I’m experiencing an issue where Rive animations do not display at all on the Android emulator, even when using the official Rive React Native example app.
Everything works correctly on the iOS simulator, so this appears to be Android-specific and possibly emulator-related.
I’ve tested this with multiple Android emulators (Pixel 6, Pixel 7, Samsung S21) using the example app (Rive 9.7.0), but nothing is shown on the screen.
Is this a known limitation of the Android emulator with Rive?
Are there recommended emulator configurations (API level, graphics mode, device type) that reliably run Rive on Android?
