For the M1 Chip sets: softwareupdate --install-rosetta Looks like ADB has not been built for the ARM chip set yet. See issuetracker.google.com/issues/160004878 – Cheke

Answer 1

Finally I solved this by a little change.

goto the error module and changed the buildToolsVersion to anther(bigger version) in build.gradle file.

rebuild again, the error disappeared.

Modifying buildToolsVersion resolved this issue. Looks like this is introduced in latest android studio version. – Woven

Answer 2

ADB doesn't support ARM, it needs Rosetta to run. I fixed this issue by installing Rosetta. Open Terminal and run the following command:

softwareupdate --install-rosetta

Answer 5

Upgrading buildToolsVersion is not work for me, but after upgraded gradle version, the error disappeared.

buildscript {
repositories {
    jcenter()
    google() <--don't forget to add this
}

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.3' <--upgrade here
}

Answer 6

I'm not 100% sure but seems like updating AGP to 7.1.0 solves the issue.

Answer 7

Following working fine for Mac M1 users (If ARM version of android studio is installed --> android-studio-2021.x.x.xx-mac_arm.dmg)):

Open terminal and install rosetta:

softwareupdate --install-rosetta

press a and the press enter(return) key.

Now rebuild or sync your project. It will work smooth.

Answer 8

Android Studio has built-in installer for M1 ARM64 architecture compatible Java:

Android Studio -> Preferences -> Gradle -> Gradle JDK -> Download JDK...

You feel free to select anything that have aarch64 tag. Azul for example

After that, run ./gradlew clean to see, that your project is used fresh ARM supported JDK.

But, for some cases (like adb) you need to install rosetta. Other things, like building project going directly through ARM without binary translator.

Answer 9

My issue was other way around. My Mac was on Intel chip but looks like I had downloaded and pointed to JDK 17 that was meant for M1 Chip. I had to go to Android Studio -> Preferences -> Gradle -> Gradle JDK and selected an embedded JDK.
