I started Android Studio 4.1
in macOS Big Sure 11.0.1
with new ARM cpu M1
After installing Rosetta: Yes, it builds !
But the Emulator has problems, it shows me CPU does not support VT-x
Even ARM images have this issue
I used the most recent, a very old api25 (Google has to do here something) but it's increadible slow
How to make the Emulator work and fast ?
Good news !

Apple Silicon M1 Support
Now, there is an arm64 release version available for Android Studio Arctic Fox (2020.3.1) You can download it from here https://developer.android.com/studio#downloads
Easy fix to use right architecture
Tools -> SDK Manager -> SDK Tools (tab) -> Deselect 'Android Emulator' -> Ok
Now, when you try to run your app, or launch device from AVD Manager, it will give the 'Install Emulator' error -> Click Ok. This will automatically download the correct version.
Use an arm64-v8a image !
When NDK runs into Unknown host CPU architecture: arm64
you can solve it here
