Hi Guys Ravi here...
So many people asking about running the android app on mac m1 system and about its performance on mac m1. So In this post I am sharing all steps to run the react-native android app on mac m1.

Android Emulator for M1 is not available on stable releases yet and I am also waiting for Android Studio to fully support M1 macs so that I can use it for developing my React Native project.

But!

Android Studio Preview has supported M1 chips pretty well so I am using that one to test my android app.

You can download Android Emulator for M1 from the below link:
https://github.com/google/android-emulator-m1-preview/releases/tag/0.3

1.Setup M1 Android Emulator:

2.After Setting Android Emulator On Mac M1 edit your bash_profile. To edit it open your terminal and run below command

open ~/.bash_profile

Add this line to your bash_profile, and replace the user-name with your username

export PATH="$PATH:/Users/user-name/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools"

save and close. Run this command to reload your bash_profile

source ~/.bash_profile

3.Then In Terminal check available adb devices by running below command:

adb devices

It will show your Android Emulator

4.Now Create React Native Project by running below command

npx react-native init AndroidApp

5.Once the project is created, Go to your react-native Project then go to android directory Create a file with following name "local.properties".

Open the file and paste your Android SDK path like below:

sdk.dir = /Users/USERNAME/Library/Android/sdk

6.Now run your react native project by

npx react-native run-android

7.Now Your app will run in Android Emulator
