New to developing on a Mac. Trying to get the Android Emulator to run. I have the newest MacBook Air with the M1Chip. When I go to run the simulator for Android I get this warning and the emulator never launches:

/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/External/xbuild/Xamarin/Android/Xamarin.Android.Tooling.targets(5,5): Warning: An exception occurred while validating the Java SDK installation in '/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-1.jdk/Contents/Home' that was found while searching the paths from 'monodroid-config.xml'. Ensure that the Android section of the Visual Studio options has a valid Java SDK directory configured. To use a custom SDK path for a command line build, set the 'JavaSdkDirectory' MSBuild property to the custom path. Exception: Not a directory
Parameter name: homePath (NoteTaker.Android)

The path to the Java SDK is either incorrect or the SDK is corrupt.

First you should download the latest version of the Java SDK from the Oracle Website.

Then within Visual Studio you need to navigate to Preferences > Projects > SDK Locations > Android > Locations.

You will need to update the Java SDK path to the new SDK you downloaded.

e.g /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/SDK17/Contents/Home
