You need to be able to receive a text message with a verification code in order to create an account. That does not have to be the same device, so you can just use your PinePhone to receive the text message and type the code into the emulated WhatsApp on your desktop.
Aero WhatsApp
If you put the Android Studio AVD on a server, you can bridge it with Matrix and use e.g. Mirage on the PinePhone to access your WhatsApp chats. Alternatively, use WhatsApp Web or a VNC viewer to interact with WhatsApp directly and avoid the annoyingly complicated setup of the Matrix bridge.

If i use the Android Studio or other VM Android on the desktop, then create the WhatsApp account on the desktop. Then I can login in the WhatsApp web easily.

Now, my question is, if i remove the Android studio after logging in the WhatsApp Web, will i be logged out from the Web or will it still be active?

let it be clear, that i don't use whatsapp, or its web interface.

what i know, whatsapp web works little differently than signal desktop. whatsapp web is temporary and needs to be reactivated again for next time. if you uninstall whatsapp, then web connection is gone.

i think android studio usage is unpractical. i tried camera support and it's there, but cumbersome. so using it every time is not worth it and some guys .... not naming anyone here ... has some issues with google's android studio software and its android images with some components.
