Apple M1 - Your CPU does not support VT-x

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?

What works for me:
Install Android Studio from the official webpage for M1 processors and then install Android SDK in default location ~/Library/Android/sdk.
Install java using brew - brew install openjdk#11 (android supports java 11, no needs for installing java 17 etc.) and then add it to the path.
Set your android paths in zsh or bash:
# Path to Android SDK
export ANDROID_HOME=/Users/$USER/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH="$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$ANDROID_HOME/emulator:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/ndk-bundle:$PATH"
Install the emulator image for arm --> arm64-v8a (from Android Studio's Device Manager).
Done - it should be working. I use M1 processor and the emulator works just fine. You don't need any m1-emulator-preview from github.
Edit: you can check this thread as well: Android Studio/Emulator on macOS with ARM CPU M1

this worked for me!!!

Android Studio issue with HAXM

I am trying android studio 3.1 canary 5 release
And when i created an avd of nexus 5 api 27 getting issue/warning reported in macintosh 10.13.2
After looking over to issue as mentioned to install HAXM of >=6.2.1
7:21 PM Emulator: WARNING: HAXM 6.1.2 is installed. Please install HAXM >= 6.2.1 to fix compatibility issues on Mac.
Tried below intel site but couldn't find updated version above 6.2.1
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-intel-haxm
Help is required on same to find updated version for mac.

I had the same problem. Every time I ran the emulator I got the same message:
Emulator: WARNING: HAXM 6.1.2 is installed. Please install HAXM >= 6.2.1
Emulator was very slow and unresponsive. But Android Studio 3.0 indicated that I'd had the HAXM 6.2.1 installed. HAXM version above 6.2.1 is nonexistent, so I guess it's AS issue. I was able to fix the problem by simply uninstalling the HAXM and installing it again at the path:
Android Studio (3.0) => Tools => Android => SDK manager => SDK tools => Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)
Just unchecked that box, hit Apply and AS uninstalled the HAXM. Then clicked the same box and AS installed it again. Emulator is now running smooth and error message disappeared.

Same here but I could fix it to re-install "Intel 86x Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) ", simply uncheck the checkbox and click Apply button, then check the box and apply again on SDK Tools window.

For me, re-installing the HAXM didn't work; other problems would consistently crop up. I just uninstalled HAXM (as per other answers) and just left that part disabled. At least I have a running emulator.
I guess that the mac HAXM system is still pretty buggy.

You need to update HAXM.
Open Android Studio
Goto Tools>Android>SDK Manager>SDK Tools
there will be "Intel 86x Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) " in list. just update it or Install it.
Answer is for (Android Studio =>3.0)

Unable to run android emulator with Android Studio

This is the error:
I am using Android Studio 2.2.2 with Ubuntu 14.04 32bit. My SDK location is in /root/Android/sdk and the avd location is in /root/.android.
I have followed the instructions from this topic, but nothing changed.
I also installed kvm and checked if Virtualization Technology works in my system.
Any ideas what to do?

Cannot start emulator on Android Studio 2.0 Preview b3

After updating both Android Studio to 2.0 Preview 3b & Android SDK Tools to 25rc1, Android studio would encounter an error when starting a Android 6.0 emulator with Google services:
The error seem to indicate that HAXM is of the wrong version (1.1.1 v.s. 6.0.1), however in Settings->Android SDK->SDK Tools the most up-to-date Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator version is installed (i.e. 6.0.1), so the error message doesn't seem to be correct.
Here's the emulator setting:

Having the 6.0.1 installer downloaded is different from actually running the installer.
Go into your folder, to extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager and execute the intelhaxm-android.exe installer.

The UI under SDK Tools is a bit confusing. When it says 6.0.1 is installed, it's really saying that it downloaded the HAXM 6.0.1 installer. You still need to run the installer to install it.
Or, you can just download and install it manually from here.

Intel HAXM / Android Studio in OS X 10.11 / El Capitan

I recently tried to set up a new instance of Android Studio on OS X 10.11 (did not have it set up before upgrading) and have been getting the following issue:
Following that, I tried to resolve the issue by installing HAXM via ADT or even intel's site at: https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-end-user-license-agreement-macosx
However, neither the regular HAXM installer or the hot fix version are compatible with OS X 10.11, as the installer insists it's not compatible with this version of OS X.
The question now is whether or not anyone else has succeeded in installing HAXM on 10.11 or if it's an issue that will not be resolved until either Android Studio or a the HAXM installer is updated?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Proposed solution does not work as I cannot run the HAXM installer

Please read this post: How to fix: “HAX is not working and emulator runs in emulation mode”
brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask && brew update
brew cask install intel-haxm
Note: I have experience only with Maverick and Yosemite.
