Description
### Describe the bug
Following the tutorial on Windows, in tutorial 5 I've managed to `create` and `build` for android. I see the generated apk. But when I try `briefcase run android` and select the emulator beePhone, the process seemingly stalls out at this line:
`D/ProfileInstaller: Installing profile for com.example.helloworld`
A new application appears in the Windows taskbar but when I select it doesn't actually show me any screen.
There are no obvious error messages in the terminal output.
### Steps to reproduce
I've followed the latest tutorials. This is a new laptop so this is all newly installed (including Android support tools which were only installed through briefcase).
### Expected behavior
I expect the Android emulator to be visible and interactive.
