03/02/2021, 3:11 PMHi folks, a colleague is having a problem setting up Android Studio. Has anyone had this error on installation? (see pic below) She’s running a new Macbook Pro with M1 chip, and trying to install the new Android Studio Canary (Arctic Fox)

03/02/2021, 9:43 PMUpdate. Got my m1. installed jdk through open jdk. installed jet brains toolbox for Apple chip. In JB toolbox there is a list of "Apple Silicon" IDEs and another with all IDEs.
I installed Android Studio stable (which I don't think has m1 support technically) and it installed fine, and I ran through the Android Studio Setup Wizard with no issues to my surprise. The only issue was that it said it could not install HAXM (which makes sense since that's an intel thing)
Hope that helps @Chris Fillmore

03/02/2021, 9:45 PMthanks @Colton Idle! I have read that, at least for AS stable, it installs fine on M1, without HAXM. Perhaps there’s more work to do for Canary

03/02/2021, 9:47 PMIt’s tough to troubleshoot because my colleague of course is wfh, she’s not an Android developer nor even a programmer, so we’re just walking through it over a call. Fortunately it’s not urgent

03/02/2021, 9:47 PMthanks for looking into it!

03/02/2021, 9:48 PMIt sounds like something might have just intermittently gone wrong with the install? Maybe just try a reboot as a sanity check? I did choose "custom installation" when I went through the wizard, but I ended up choosing all defaults anyway.

03/02/2021, 9:48 PMI'm still unsure of the state of java/intellij/AS on m1 macbook which is why I haven't even tried it yet. This message spurred me to open the box again. lol

03/02/2021, 9:48 PMgood call, we’ll try some more tomorrow

03/02/2021, 9:51 PMYeah. The error message just sounds like it couldn't reach the network to download some install configs or something.
Colton Idle
03/02/2021, 9:53 PMFor what it's worth. I downloaded Intellij Ultimate for Apple Silicon EAP and created a compose desktop app and everything ran fine. So that's good.
Trying an AS project on stable now.

03/02/2021, 9:57 PMTried opening up the emulator that came during the new project wizard. It won't open. Plugged in my pixel 5. Launched without issue!
Not bad!
Last thing I'll say is I don't actually know if I have rosetta installed and if it's doing any of the magic here, but the fact that stable works is surprising to me!

03/02/2021, 10:08 PMInstalled arm v8 emulator image for api 30 and after the install the emulator boots up.
Colton Idle
03/02/2021, 10:09 PMAnd... the app deploys. Looks like stable should be a fully functional dev machine!

03/02/2021, 10:10 PMbarely used the emulator here (like 1 minute max) but its buttery smooth. 😄
Colton Idle
03/02/2021, 10:18 PMAfter creating a new compose project in canary I was able to deploy to that same emulator. 💯

03/02/2021, 10:19 PMmmmm ok thanks for the heads up

03/02/2021, 10:20 PMI’ll circle back with my colleague!
