Answer 1

I got the same issue. But fix it for M1 arch.

1. Terminal -> open -a /Applications/Android\ Studio.app

2. Change your grandle version to 6.7.1 (File -> Project structure -> Gradle version)

3. Change your gradle JDK to open JDK 1.8 (Android Studio -> Preferences -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Gradle -> Gradle JDK)

If you don't have JDK 1.8 please install

• brew install --cask adoptopenjdk8

It's work for me.

Answer 2

I was able to attribute this error to using an incompatible node version, when I switched from 14.15.0 to 14.5.0 the issue was resolved
