When attempting to launch my Android app, why does my AVD open YouTube instead?

edit

There could be different reasons why your AVD (Android Virtual Device) opens YouTube instead of launching your app. Here are a few possible causes:

1. Incorrect Launch Configuration: When you create an AVD, you need to configure the launch settings for your app. It is possible that you might have set the wrong launch configuration, which is causing the AVD to open YouTube instead of your app.

2. Outdated AVD: If your AVD is outdated or not compatible with the version of Android that you are trying to launch your app on, it might cause unexpected behavior. Try creating a new AVD with the latest version of Android and see if it resolves the issue.

3. App Permissions: Your app might require certain permissions to launch correctly on the AVD. If you have not granted those permissions, the AVD might not be able to launch your app and might redirect you to an app that does not require those permissions, like YouTube.

4. Corrupted AVD: In some cases, the AVD might be corrupted, causing it to behave unpredictably. Try recreating the AVD and see if it resolves the issue.

5. Incorrect App Code: There might be an issue with the app code itself that is causing it to launch YouTube instead of opening the app. Check your code carefully to ensure that it is correctly configured and is not causing any conflicts.
