Issue

I couldn't run the flutter app on android emulator or android phone. I installed the recently released android studio for arm-mac platform on m1 mac. Please answer if I am doing anything wrong here or is it the problem with the release itself.

Debug console output:

The operation couldn’t be completed. Unable to locate a Java Runtime.

Exception: Gradle task assembleDebug failed with exit code 1

flutter doctor -v output :
