Yesterday the emulator was working perfectly. The system image was arm64-v8a. I don't exactly remember the Release name of the working system image but, yesterday there was an update for the ARM 64 system image which I accepted and the release name is "S".
I can start the emulator from my AVD Manager, the emulator also starts when I press the 'Run app' button however, the app isn't loaded on the emulator and the emulator appears offline if I check through "adb devices" or if I click on "Troubleshoot Device connections" it shows:
"emulator-5554 - Device is currently in the offline state"
I have tried most of the suggestions found on StackOverflow like:
adb kill-server, adb start-server
Remove and re-create AVD device
Invalidate Caches/Restart
Enable USB debugging inside the emulator
Wipe data and cold boot from AVD manager
I am using Android Studio 4.1.3

Any idea what has gone wrong? Or how to tackle this issue?
Replace the avd system images you have downloaded with the r02 images. r03 is broken for me but reverting to r02 saved the day!
Update: It appears r03, r04, and r05 all don't work on m1

Google APIs ARM 64 v8a System Image (revision: 2)
With the latest android (4.1.3) on macOS, the directory you want to put the unzipped images in is probably something like ~/Library/Android/sdk/system-images/android-S.
For example, the path for the google play image is ~/Library/Android/sdk/system-images/android-S/google_apis_playstore/arm64-v8a
