I had the same problem that the AVD Manager didn't show up after I installed Android Studio 3.0.1. and I could not run my Ionic app in the emulator. After hours of researching this answer finally helped: https://stackoverflow.com/a/47727706/9386896

1. Start a blank project
2. Android Studio complained that certain SDK tools are missing and offers you to install them
3. After all tools where installed by Android Studio, I could finally create a virtual device via the AVD Manager.

I guess that may help Windows and Mac users.
