When you install Android Studio you will get the following warning:

Using Android studio in the new Macbook Air As I said in the previous post, these configurations are workarounds until stable versions are released, however, for me, they have been useful and I guess that someone in the same situation as me can benefit from that. You will have a dialog something like this, Select Apply.This is the second post that I dedicate to talk about configurations using the new M1 Apple processor.Untick All the Packages, and keep them in your mind because you will retick them in the next step.So here are the simple steps to the solution: after some digging around, the root of the problem was that I have transferred all my data from my old Mac (using Time Machine) which uses Intel (The other Mac is Macbook Pro 2011 13 Inch Intel), so other than a lot of apps which did not run or ran sluggishly and I had to reinstall their ARM version, the Android SDK Tools were transfered too. I've had this problem with my new Macbook Pro M1 Pro (Macbook Pro 2021 14 Inch M1 Pro). Got this from this official issue thread (by jeanlst): If everything fails try this: On Android Studio uncheck emulator -> tools -> Launch in a tool window I followed the steps that this guy talks and had good results: This will automatically download the correct version. Now, when you try to run your app, or launch device from AVD Manager, it will give the 'Install Emulator' error -> Click Ok. Tools -> SDK Manager -> SDK Tools (tab) -> Deselect 'Android Emulator' Now audio in and out works properly Solution 2 There is an arm64 version available for Android Studio Arctic Fox (2020.3.1) Canary 15. When NDK runs into Unknown host CPU architecture: arm64 you can solve it here Choose an arm64-v8a on 'Other Images' tab.Choose any device that has the Play button and click Next.Tools -> AVD Manager -> click Create Virtual Device.Install Android 11 (R) or 12.0 (S) and click Apply.Now, there is an arm64 release version available for Android Studio Arctic Fox (2020.3.1)
