I've downloaded Android Studio from the official website, the one for M1 chip (arm).
Basically running it for the first time, the error is the following:
An error occurred while trying to compute required packages
I was searching about it the whole day to figure out a way to make Android Studio work, but that error keeps showing. Not completely sure if it's related to M1 Macbook, as on my Intel one it works as expected.
What I already tried to do:
Installing the command line tools, then placing it on SDK folder (Users/user/Library/Android/sdk). Then added the bin to the PATH (Reference)
After doing that, when executing the sdkmanager on terminal I get the following message Could not find or load main class com.android.sdklib.tool.sdkmanager.SdkManagerCli
Then I searched again and it leaded me to this thread, then as on the answers I tried to rename the folder, then other tries not related. I fell into many links and references that did not work at all.
After that I try to check what happens if I click on New Project, then the following is shown:
The Android SDK location cannot be at the filesystem root
As the message indicates, the issue is The Android SDK location cannot be at the filesystem root, so I searched again about it
I looked into that and got to a few links, for example this one and this one. Before doing that search I clicked on the Edit button, which lead me to the Android SDK to be updated/installed (Nice!), so I had to delete the content I had on Android folder (inside Library) and clicked next...then, I got the same message An error occurred while trying to compute required packages.
Then I thought "ok, maybe if I change the SDK location", so I changed to ../Documents/sdk, which ended up in the same result
Seems like no matter what I do, it ends up showing up that same message.
When I run java -version that's what I see:
java version "1.8.0_311"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_311-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.311-b11, mixed mode)
Did anyone have the same issue? Am I doing something wrong? Not sure how to proceed from here, despite of the Android Studio version I download it's always the same result.
Any help is appreciated.
This is what solved it for me on my M1.
Go to Android Studio Preview and download the latest Canary build for Apple chip (Chipmunk). Don't worry this is just to get through the initial setup.
Unpack it, run it, let it install all the SDK components, accept licenses, etc as usual.
Once it's done, simply close it and delete it.
Now when you start your stable Android Studio (Arctic Fox) you should not see the error.
I tried over a dozen 2021 stable and Canary builds from https://developer.android.com/studio/archive and couldn't get any of them to work.
This is the only thing I could find that worked:
Download, unpackage and run Android Studio 3.6.3 android-studio-ide-192.6392135-mac.zip from here.
Proceed through the initial setup and let it download and install the SDK. Ignore any errors at the end.
Delete this version and open the stable Android Studio like normal.
You can now proceed through setup!
I also faced this issue a couple days and I changed my mind to not use Android Studio. And It's fixed!
My alternative option is to download IntelliJ community edition and install Android SDK to your machine.

After (IntelliJ) installation is complete,
You need also to create new project, select android then download SDK. (thanks for #SteveRoger 's comment)
then open Android Studio again and follow its setup wizard. It will show that my machine has been already installed Android SDK and it can run perfectly at this time.
Hope this is an alternative solution for you.
Have a great day.
I solved the problem with these steps:
Install the old Android Studio 3.6.3 (find the old Android Studio at https://developer.android.com/studio/archive)
Install the Android SDK
Overwrite the installation with the Apple Chip version of Android Studio
I had the same problem with my MacBook air(m1 chip) as you mentioned.
How did I solve it?
Just download the IDE - Intellij IDEA and create a new project, select Android Project and there download Android SDK, now you can install android studio again and the sdk is installed.
I've also had this exact same issue when downloading Android Studio 7.0.3. Here's what helped me.
Download the command line tools, place them in the SDK folder (e.g., on mac: /Users/user/Library/Android/sdk), and then add the bin folder to the PATH.
Install the latest platform: in a terminal, execute ./sdkmanager "platforms;android-31"
Next up execute this command ./sdkmanager --channel=3 emulator (this switches the channel from stable=0 to canary=3 )
Open Android Studio, and go to the SDK Manager (Appearance and Behavior > System Settings > Android SDK)
Click on "Edit", and then select the sdk folder. Then "Next" > "Next" > "Finish".
Now restart Android Studio and everything should work
I had the exact same error as OP. Follow what Art Fedorychak mentioned, it worked for me as well. It seems like the current stable build of the Apple M1 android studio version doesn't actually initialize an SDK if one doesn't already exist, but it seems to be able to update and or / initialize one that does as long as the same folder is being referenced, so we just need to use a working SDK for M1 on the initial run and then revert back to the stable AS
This is what solved it for me:
Download & install IntelliJ IDEA. https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/#section=mac
Open IntelliJ IDEA and create New Android Project
Download sdk success
Open Android Studio & checked it worked
My solution to this problem is simply to put the SDK in another location. For myself, I put the SDK folder to subfolders in Documents. The SDK download will initiate.
i installed the following plugin to my cordova project to receive push-notifications (and followed the given steps):
github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push
I also installed all needed resources by the sdk manager (extras-> google play services, support repository+libraries etc.)
But unfortunately i get an error in eclipse:
The packages com.google.android.gms.gcm, com.google.android.gms.iid, android.support.v4.app are missing somehow.. (or cannot be resolved)
i don´t know what i´m doing wrong..
is there any step-by-step tutorial for implementing the push-plugin in a cordova 5 app?
or is there any solution to this?
thanks!!

May be it would help you.
It is asking to add v4 support.
Try this:
Right click on you project in eclipse
Then select "java build path"
Click on "libraries tab" then click on "Add external jar file"
now you will get this v4 jar file in C:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\extras\android\support\v4
NOTE : if you cant find the AppData folder then make sure to change hidden
settings.
Recommended to start using IDE Andriod Studio for Phonegap to prevent further issues. Android SDK has changed to suit Andriod Studio. I have build a clean project and paste over the index.html in Andriod Studio. No errors at all and gradle will help build all the projects file with 1 click!
I have just downloaded a project from GitHub, but I don't know how to open it in Android Studio. I tried to use check out projects from version control, but it shows an error message:
cannot run program "get.exe":create process=2, the system cannot find
the file specified
I had this problem when I first started integrating GitHub with my Android Studio Projects. This solved my problem, please reference this stack answer
Android Studio Checkout Github Error “CreateProcess=2” (Windows)
You need to set the environment variable in Android Studio
C:\Users\Your_Username\AppData\Local\GitHub\PortableGit_ca477551eeb4aea0e4ae9fcd3358bd96720bb5c8\bin\git.exe
You can open the android studio and go to : Settings -> Version Control -> Git In text box next to "Path to Git Executable" you will see "git.exe" , just give it a full path
i am using android studio version 0.8.2,
i am trying to create an avd, but the OK button cannot be pressed.
didn't find anything relevant to my version online.
You have to setup everything properly, if the cpu is not able to choose, you need to install the corresponding package in SDK manager
check my answer here:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/24980033/2777381
Do you install gradle? Make sure your Android Studio installs the gradle when you first start and create a project.
Also make sure File -> Project Structure -> SDKs list your Android SDK and you have given the right PATH there.
Also check:

I am trying to run my first android application in Android studio. Application created successfully with new project vizard but cant run that as getting this error--
Invalid App-Engine SDK Path
Please help
All answers about disabling the plugin are incorrect.
You need to execute ./gradlew appengineDownloadSdk in the root of your project. Alternatively you can execute the task via the gradle sidebar in Android Studio.
This task will create the folders given the current versions in your build.gradle file. You have to run this when you update versions in your dependency list.
One solution is to disable the Google Cloud Tools for Android Studio plugin.
In Android Studio, click on:
File > Settings
Then click on Plugins (on the left), and uncheck "Google Cloud Tools For Android Studio". Then Apply.
It asks you to restart Android Studio. Click on Restart and it will work now.
Seems like this is the problem--
exception in plugin Google cloud tools for android studio
After disabling this plugin its working now!!
In other scenario if you want to setup Google app engine this might help
