@YaSi Did not face any issue running Android Studio on m1 Mac, I am able to download and run android studio, no forced stop of app face till now but sadly I only can code cannot run emulator:( The same goes for visual studio, it downloads and runs very smoothly. Just tried to run Android Studio (4.1.1) on Macbook Pro M1, it works, but: No emulators at this point. Can build and publish on Android Phone (Nexus 4a in my case) IntelliJ has some lags in performance on M1 (because it is not native, and Intel built), but feels pretty usable. Posted 8 months ago. The M1 MacBook Pro can at least play some games with all settings set to medium which makes a huge difference considering it is not a gaming laptop. The battery life is great this laptop can last for hours on one charge, it is at peak performance. My entire development workflow is much faster on this new M1 MacBook Pro. Bluestacks is one of the most popular Android emulators for Windows and is probably. Is there any possible way I can run an Android emulator on my Mac Book Pro with M1 chip as of now? I tried iMazing but the specific app I want to launch with it simply will not. All other emulators like BlueStacks, Nox Player, KO Player will also not run/install.

Setting up the environment

Setup for iOS needs:

Node (with NVM)
Watchman brew install watchman
Xcode (install from the App Store)
Xcode Command Line Tools xcode-select --install
Accept the Software License for Xcode sudo xcodebuild -license. It'll prompt you anyway when you run Xcode for the first time.
CocoaPods sudo gem install cocoapods

Homebrew

Install Homebrew if you don't have it installed already

Node LTS with NVM

iOS

Open Terminal / iTerm with Rosetta (Get Info > Open using Rosetta)
Prefix the CocoaPods related commands with arch -x86_64

Android

Install JDK 8 brew install --cask adoptopenjdk/openjdk/adoptopenjdk8
Install Android Studio
Install Android Emulator for M1

The Android Emulator doesn't work out of the box yet. Luckily, there is a Preview build by Google that supports Apple Silicon M1 chip based MacBooks. You'll have to download and install it separately. Most things work.

Troubleshooting

command not found for brew or nvm. Make sure you have a ~/.zshrc file. On a fresh new M1 MacBook, there is no ~/.zshrc or ~/.zprofile created and the $PATH doesn't get updated because of it. Create a ~/.zshrc file and run the commands to install Homebrew and NVM again.

Macbook M1

Add this to you Podfile

Two options:

Run on a different port react-native start --port=8088
OR find out what program is using 8081 sudo lsof -i :8081 and kill it kill -9 1234
