Google Play Store on emulator stuck at "pending" when downloading or updating apps

Question

I'm trying to use Google Play Store on my Android emulator for testing purposes. However, I keep getting stuck at "pending" when downloading or updating apps.

I'm on the Apple M1 and launching the emulator from Android Studio.

I solved it by going into:

Emulator Settings > Network & Internet > Internet > T-Mobile Settings[Gear Icon] > Changed the Preferred Network Type from 3G(default) to LTE (recommended)
