Just a couple of days ago the first PREVIEW version of the Android Emulator for Apple M1 (Apple Silicon) Chips were released. I downloaded the latest version and tested it stand-alone and with a demo project via Android Studio and both worked just fine. Keep in mind that at this point the status is still PREVIEW and should not be. I've tried to run android emulator on an Apple M1 chip MacBook but it doesn't work and AVD Manager shows. Here is the link to the Android Emulator Apple Silicon.

Download an Android emulator on your Mac OS X to run Google Play apps on your computer. An Android emulator runs a virtual device on your computer; it is like having an Android phone on your Apple computer. You can now play all your favorite mobile games like Candy Crush, Clash of Clans, The Simpsons Tapped Out, and Family Guy The Quest for Stuff or run your favorite mobile apps like Snapchat, WhatsApp, and Viber on your Mac computer.

• Android Emulator. According to the Android Studio team, the Android Emulator works with API 30 and API S Developer Preview emulator system images. The M1 MacBook beat Intel MacBook in every round, it has faster build time, the temperature is way cooler. But in software development, reliability plays a crucial part too.

The Android emulator supports Mac OS X 10.6 and up (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite) and will work for all Apple computers (Macbook Air, Pro, iMac, Mac Mini).
