Just updated go-android toolkit in the new version ([1.2.1](https://github.com/bitrise-steplib/steps-start-android-emulator/releases/tag/1.2.1)), so from now on if your `ANDROID_HOME` environment variable points to a symlink, it will be evaluated and you won’t receive the following error message:

> android home not exists at: /usr/local/opt/android-sdk

It usually happens when you’ve installed android-sdk with `brew`.

Happy building! 🎉🚀
