Apple M1 - Your CPU does not support VT-x

Question

I tried everything and I am running out of ideas to have an Android simulator working on my mac.

---

• I downloaded —again— Android studio from the official website https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html

Android Studio Bumblebee | 2021.1.1 Patch 3
Build #AI-211.7628.21.2111.8309675, built on March 16, 2022

• I downloaded "the R API Level 30 image"

• I installed "The Zulu OpenJDK" with

brew tap homebrew/cask-versions
brew install --cask zulu11

• I know the android-emulator-m1-preview is not required anymore

---

Edit: Following @mmBs advice, I changed the path to Gradle

Preferences > Build > Gradle > Gradle JDK > azul-11

...same result.

I can't make the virtual device works on my machine.

I always have this device manager error when I try to launch the simulator.

Question:

How can I have an android simulator working with an Apple M1?

Android emulator is now compatible with arm processor out of the box.

But when you create a new emulator, not all emulator and system images in the list are arm compatible. Make sure you make the right choice (see screenshot above)
