The Android emulator now works on the Apple M1 chip (Apple Silicon), but only in preview mode. This means that not all functionality is available. It would be great to make a test on them. And also interesting to test this project on Macbook Pro 2019 16' and the new one Macbook Pro/Air with M1 chip to compare performance. And also to try to run this project on Android Studio on Windows 10 incide MacOS on Parallels and via Bootcamp and to see the difference in performance.

In this video, I tried running the NEW Android Studio Beta on Mac m1 you can download it from here:

Setting up the environment

Setup for iOS needs:

• Node (with NVM)
• Watchman brew install watchman
• Xcode (install from the App Store)
• Xcode Command Line Tools xcode-select --install
• Accept the Software License for Xcode sudo xcodebuild -license. It'll prompt you anyway when you run Xcode for the first time.
• CocoaPods sudo gem install cocoapods

Homebrew

Install Homebrew if you don't have it installed already

Node LTS with NVM

iOS

• Open Terminal / iTerm with Rosetta (Get Info > Open using Rosetta)
• Prefix the CocoaPods related commands with arch -x86_64

Android

• Install JDK 8 brew install --cask adoptopenjdk/openjdk/adoptopenjdk8
• Install Android Studio
• Install Android Emulator for M1

Macbook Pro M1 16gb

The Android Emulator doesn't work out of the box yet. Luckily, there is a Preview build by Google that supports Apple Silicon M1 chip based MacBooks. You'll have to download and install it separately. Most things work.

Troubleshooting

• command not found for brew or nvm. Make sure you have a ~/.zshrc file. On a fresh new M1 MacBook, there is no ~/.zshrc or ~/.zprofile created and the $PATH doesn't get updated because of it. Create a ~/.zshrc file and run the commands to install Homebrew and NVM again.

Add this to you Podfile

Two options:

• Run on a different port react-native start --port=8088
• OR find out what program is using 8081 sudo lsof -i :8081 and kill it kill -9 1234

incorrect architecture 'x86_64' errors

add this to the Podfile

run pod install afterwards
