Android Studio was unable to find a valid Jvm (Related to MAC OS)

Verifying and setting up Java version

Don't trust, always verify! Confirm your installed Java version and set up the JDK correctly by firing up your Terminal:

# Java or not Java, that is the question
java -version
echo $JAVA_HOME


This displays the active Java version and the JAVA_HOME path.

Configuring Android Studio settings

Next, we align Android Studio's JDK version with your systems JDK. Open Android Studio, go to Preferences > Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle, then ensure gradle JDK version matches your system JDK.

Handling stubborn JVM issues

If the JVM issue persists after above steps, consider resetting Android Studio settings or even a clean reinstallation. Customize your studio VM options via .vmoptions files for additional settings.

macOS compatibility check

Ensure your MacOS version supports your chosen JDK version. Sometimes updating the OS can resolve compatibility issues with Android Studio.

Setting environment variables and launchers

To set STUDIO_JDK, script an environment variable to your .bash_profile or .zshrc using the export or use launchctl setenv command. This helps to override the default Java version for Android Studio.

Mitigating advanced issues

If you stumble upon stubborn issues, ensure Android Studio's Info.plist is intact and properly configured. It's an important system file, so restrict your tweaks to JVMVersion only.
