Unable to run any Android Emulator Chrome Tests

The problem

Unable to get any Emulator Test working, regardless of how simple the setup. Regardless of the Appium version/chrome version/android emulator version. Tried everything I can find, still cannot get it working.

Most common error is

Original error: unknown error: Failed to forward ports to device emulator-5554: . unknown error: The adb command failed. Extra response: <>.

I’ve faced with this issue after update of platform-tools (29.0.2 => 29.0.3) After update to the latest version (29.0.4) the issue has gone

Is this new update causing any errors ?
