vi ~/.zshenv

export PATH="/opt/homebrew/opt/openjdk@17/bin:$PATH"
export PATH=~/Library/Android/sdk/cmdline-tools/latest/bin:$PATH
export ANDROID_HOME=~/Library/Android/sdk
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=$ANDROID_HOME
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

5 download android sdk by cli not Android Studio

notice: macOS Android Studio default Android sdk dir: ~/Library/Android/sdk

sdkmanager --list
sdkmanager emulator
sdkmanager platform-tools
sdkmanager "build-tools;35.0.0"
sdkmanager "platforms;android-34"
sdkmanager "system-images;android-34;default;arm64-v8a"
sdkmanager "sources;android-34"
sdkmanager --list_installed

if you don't set env ANDROID_SDK_ROOT, you should use:

sdkmanager --sdk_root=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk --list

not --sdk_root=~/Library/Android/sdk.

macOS cli install Android SDK 34
