JetBrainsRuntime VS android-studio-apple-m1

JetBrains have their tweaks to the JRE available: https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsRuntime

The major problems begin when you want to leverage the GPU or multimedia components in which case you would want something else.

Jetbrains Runtime – this is bundled with IntelliJ and Android Studio, but with patches focused on optimization for use within an Interactive Development Environment context – doing incremental builds, hot reload of class definition, and embedded Chromium in the runtime. I do not believe the added features are useful for building and archiving Android Applications for distribution, but it will work non-the-less.

Also with 'Java on Truffle' on GraalVM you can use enhanced class reloading

However, I am running IntelliJ on Asahi since June already. They did not provide offical Linux arm64 support, but what since May, when they released the first 2022.2 EAP, they switched to JBR 17 (the JetBrains Java Runtime). JBR 17. Fortunatly, in May, they started to release JBR builds for Linux am64, starting with JBR 17.0.3-b463.3. That meant we had everything we needed to run IntelliJ on Asahi: I just had to set the env var IDEA_JDK=/path/to/arm64/jbr/ to make IntelliJ use the correct JBR. Besides that it was necessary to download a fsnotifier version that was build for arm64 and set the path in ~/.config/JetBrains/IntelliJIdea2022.3/idea.properties.

Have you tried the JetBrains Runtime with DCEVM? https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsRuntime/releases/tag/jbr17.0.2b396.4

This project's key is replacing x86_64 Jetbrains Runtime (https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsRuntime) to arm64 Jetbrains Runtime. Arctic Fox IntelliJ Core version is 2020.3.1, maybe google upgrade core version to 2021.1 as soon as possible. (IntelliJ Core version 2021.1 released at a few days ago.)

I just updated my Android Studio. I checked the activities and still getting the Intel flag. If I use the unofficial Github Version there is a Apple tag. Do anyone experience the same?

I own a mac m1, hence regular android Studio is extremely laggy. I, also, tried this unofficial Studio https://github.com/dsa28s/android-studio-apple-m1/releases, which works great; but I could not find Android NDK in SDK tools. I even changed the update channel in Settings as it specified here: https://developer.android.com/studio/projects/install-ndk. However, I am not able to install NDK. Is there anyway to install NDK on mac m1 ?

# Install wget brew install wget # Go into the Downloads folder cd ~/Downloads # Download M1 ARM AS wget https://github.com/dsa28s/android-studio-apple-m1/releases/download/canary-14-2/AndroidStudioArcticFoxCanary14_p1_1_darwin_arm64.zip unzip ./AndroidStudioArcticFoxCanary14_p1_1_darwin_arm64.zip # Download M1 ARM JDK wget https://cdn.azul.com/zulu/bin/zulu11.45.27-ca-jdk11.0.10-macosx_aarch64.zip unzip ./zulu11.45.27-ca-jdk11.0.10-macosx_aarch64.zip # Create a copy of AS cp -R ./Android\ Studio\ Preview\ ARM64.app ./Android\ Studio\ Preview\ ARM64\ Patched.app # Replace the original JDK rm -rf ./Android\ Studio\ Preview\ ARM64\ Patched.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents cp -R ./zulu11.45.27-ca-jdk11.0.10-macosx_aarch64/zulu-11.jdk/Contents ./Android\ Studio\ Preview\ ARM64\ Patched.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents

I'd like to think that after they saw how that someone on github got it working and shared the build with others plus with the amount of commenters with enterprise domain names have been leaving comments on the issue for the M1 build asking for a timeline forced them to recently upgrade it from a P4 to a P2 so that's promising.

The ticket for a native M1 build of Android Studio: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/179062806. It'll take a while: Actic Fox at the soonest. Meanwhile you can use the M1 version of IntteliJ and use the Android Plugin or use dsa28s/android-studio-apple-m1 for an M1 optimised version of Arctic Fox.
