Mac Big Sur version 11.0.1 java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Unable to load library 'CoreFoundation'

Question

I'm getting IDE Fatal Errors.

I'm working on a Mac Big Sur version 11.0.1 Android Studio 4.1.1 Developing a Flutter

I found this link https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-244962 New in macOS Big Sur 11 beta, the system ships with a built-in dynamic linker cache of all system-provided libraries. As part of this change, copies of dynamic libraries are no longer present on the filesystem. Code that attempts to check for dynamic library presence by looking for a file at a path or enumerating a directory will fail. Instead, check for library presence by attempting to dlopen() the path, which will correctly check for the library in the cache.

I have no idee how to solve these fatal Errors in Kind regard, Robert

Upgrading my Android Studio to version 4.2 Beta 2 on my mac solved the problem. Thank you for your inputs!

I think an easier way to get around this error would be to revert to an earlier version where you were not getting this error. Right click on the project folder and navigate to local history to revert to an earlier version. I verified this work around on an android studio installed on Mac OS Big sur. This solution would also resolve the dlopen issue, app stopping issue and app restarting issue.
