If lets say a facehugger came in contact with a synthetic like Bishop do you think the embryo could've matured to a chestburster inside an android? or do you think that the synthetics are immune to the embryos?
What does eveyone else think?

I don't think it could mature, and think it would die inside. If an alien embryo could be born from a synthetic life form, then the facehuggers would likely just deposit the embryos into a crevasse in the wall or something. I think there is something about the nutrients in an organic life forms body that supplies energy and such to the embryo. Although never proved, it is highly theorized that the Aliens tend to ignore androids unless they perceive them as a thread. Ash didn't seem to think he would die (but granted not even Ash knew the nature of the xenomorph, and he may not have cared if he died so as long as orders were followed). Bishop was not attacked when leaving Ops to remote pilot the 2nd drop ship, the Alien Queen did rip him in half, but she was there for battle, and he could have posed as a thread. When Call fell back down into the water she was not destroyed by the aliens in the water. Great question though.

Maybe the alien embryo has somesort of "yolk" that it can feed of until it reaches the stage where it can break out of the host. Also how do the aliens know not to attack a synthetics? Do they have some kind of "sixth sense" that helps them detect a proper host?

Good question, but i reckon they would die inside, the probably need oxygen and blood and stuff to mature. Plus, remember, Bishop is the one who crawls through the pipe to pilot the ship, cause he knows the aliens can't harm him (well they could rip him in half, like the queen does, but... but... shutup! )

Do they have some kind of "sixth sense" that helps them detect a proper host? No one really knows, but they may have a sense of smell, kind of like how parasites here on Earth wouldn't try to infest a mannequin.

Plus, remember, Bishop is the one who crawls through the pipe to pilot the ship, cause he knows the aliens can't harm him (well they could rip him in half, like the queen does, but... but... shutup! ) I think they would only tear him up if they saw him as a threat. In aliens they cocooned the colonists, but killed some of the marines, despite the fact they knew they were short on hosts. I think an Alien will cocoon if they can, but will kill if they see the prey as a viable threat. I think the Queen tried to kill Bishop because she was there to fight, to get revenge on Ripley, and didn't want to have to worry about Bishop attacking her while she was after Ripley and Newt.

Good point I agree with you that the aliens would tear him up, perhaps that's why he would suit it to go outside, because even if he did get torn up, he probably would be able to still function... meh i'm just jabbering now

Ok thanks for all the information. That answers my question. Whenever I have a question about the alien universe, I know where to go!
