I am trying to setup Android Studio on my refurbished M1 MBP. I am getting stuck in Android Studio Setup Wizard where it is giving me an error. Another thing I notice is there is no Android/sdk directory created in my Library folder when I install Android Studio. So during installation, the sdk is not being downloaded. I have spent hours on this and haven't been able to find this scenario online. Shouldn't this just work out-of-box? What am I missing here?

Follow the setup wizard in Android Studio and install any SDK packages that it recommends. That's it.
Any you know what, unlike Android Studio (which is still Intel based compiled), the M1 Emulator is Apple M1 Device compatible!! No wonder it works so fast! There’s only S API Level to use for now. This is the newest API Level SDK that is not common among the user.
My first impression of setting up Android App Development on an M1 MacBook Pro is not as positive as I hope to get it, as my blog below. It is working, but it is not ideal in various way. Is Android Development good in M1 MacBook Pro? The main drawback that hit me is Android Emulator.
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. Worked for me!

As @bjjdroid suggested I have installed the Version Chipmunk Canary 3 which installed the SDK just fine. Afterwards I installed Arctic Fox again and it just used the SDK from the other installer.
