Some VM/emulator apps have a fixed set of OS's or applications that can be supported. Since Android 8 and later versions of Android, some of these apps have been reporting issues as Google has heightened the security of file-access permissions on newer versions of Android. Some apps have difficulties or have lost access to SD card.
Terminal verification results (TVR) or Tag '95' [1] is an EMV data object . The TVR is a series of bits set by the terminal reading an EMV card, based on logical tests (for example has the card expired). This data object is used in the terminal's decision whether to accept, decline or go on-line for a payment transaction.
Host card emulation (HCE) is the software architecture that provides exact virtual representation of various electronic identity (access, transit and banking) cards using only software. Prior to the HCE architecture, near field communication (NFC) transactions were mainly carried out using hardware-based secure elements .
Apps wanting to access files or folders outside that on the SD card, are required to use Android's own system file selector. [14] Due to this limitation, guest OSes running on, emulation, platform virtualization, or compatibility apps are no longer allowed to access files outside of their own SD card Sandbox.

The researchers developed a proof-of-concept Android app that effectively turns a physical Visa card into a mobile payment app (e.g. Apple Pay, Google Pay) to perform PIN-free, high-value purchases. The attack is carried out using two NFC -enabled smartphones, one held near the physical card and the second held near the payment terminal.
HCE allows any Android 4.4 app to emulate an NFC smart card, letting users initiate transactions with their device. Apps can use a new Reader Mode to act as readers for HCE cards and other NFC-based transactions. On September 9, 2014, Apple announced support for NFC-powered transactions as part of Apple Pay. [78]
In January 2018, BlueStacks announced the release of the BlueStacks + N Beta, running on Android 7 (Android Nougat).This was notable as most Android emulators were running Android 4.4 (KitKat) at that time. [20] This version was powered by an upgraded "HyperG" graphics engine that enabled the use of the full array of Android 7 APIs.
