Purpose
Is there any possible way I can run an Android emulator on my Mac Book Pro with M1 chip as of now? I tried iMazing but the specific app I want to launch with it simply will not. All other emulators like BlueStacks, Nox Player, KO Player will also not run/install. Since apple prevent users to install non apple store IPA files on mac 🤦♂️, I decided to run android emulator on my mac and i noticed that all android emulator cant install on m1 except one thing. So i installed android studio + android emulator and runs very very well.
