So i've downloaded the correct apple silicon android studio installation from their website. when trying to install the installation process gets stuck on this message:

Downloading https://dl.google.com/android/repository/emulator-darwin_aarch64-8807927.zip Warning: This download could not be finalized from the interim state. Retrying without caching. Downloading https://dl.google.com/android/repository/emulator-darwin_aarch64-8807927.zip

I have left it like that for hours but with no luck

any workaround?

today I solved the problem like this:

  1. Download file and unzip: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/emulator-darwin_aarch64-8807927.zip
  2. Cancel button.
  3. Go to /Users/YOUR NAME/Library/Android/sdk
  4. Delete the folder "emulator" and add new unzipped folder the same name
  5. Finish!

Try to add simulator.

Later, maybe I will find a better way, but this way allowed me to work at the moment and not delay work.

    thanks for the reply! the thing Is, I don't need the emulator. the initial android studio installation does not continue because of this. I tired putting the emulator folder in there but when I try to reinstall android studio all it does is skip this folder and create a new one with a different name and then gets stuck again – TomerZigdon Aug 18 '22 at 05:55
  • Hello, try to upload now, it seems Google has solved this problem. – AnalyticsNick Aug 19 '22 at 06:34

@TomerZigdon Do you actually need an emulator for testing?

Here's a solution that worked for me. I have a physical device that I test the apps on and I don't require an emulator. So as per this answer (https://stackoverflow.com/a/39880185/3273842), I disabled android checking for first run. Android Studio opens just usual and on creating a new (dummy) project, it installs the needed SDK versions (not the emulator)

disable.android.first.run=true

This has been resolved by Google via this bug ticket: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/242575308#comment27

Verified by bo...@google.com.

hello, thanks a lot for reporting the problem. please try to download emulator 31.3.10 again on M1, and it should work now, but report problems if you run into.

thanks for your patience.
