I have Java installed from Adoptium using Brew. I already tried flutter doctor --android-licenses and removed the obsolete version of Android SDK Tools:

What could be wrong?

Follow these steps:

Go to Applications folder and find Android Studio app
Right click on it and hit Show Package Contents
Navigate to Contents, then right click on "jbr"
Hit duplicate
Rename the duplicate folder to "jre"

Done!!

Apparently it's an open issue with Android Studio Electric Eel 2022.1.1 after I upgraded using Brew. The workaround is:

cd /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents
ln -s jbr jre

Just upgraded to Electric Eel 2022.1.1 and now the `ln -s jbr jre` workaround does not work anymore - and the [issue is closed](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/106674)! – Hahnemann Feb 04 '23 at 17:06

For Windows you can try this:

Open a terminal with admin permissions (e.g. Press Win and type "cmd", "powershell" or "terminal", whatever you prefer, and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter)

Then type:

 cd C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio
 mklink /D "jre" "jbr"

Hints

If you have installed Android Studio in a different directory change the path.
If there is a almost jre directory you can simply delete it with rmdir /s jre this was the case on my system after an update to Electric Eel (2022.1.1).
