Can't make ProgressBar use material design style

I'm transitioning an app from Holo style to Material design, and am stuck with a ProgressBar widget that won't show up as it is supposed to.

It's supposed to be flat like (and that's what AndroidStudio's preview gives me):

flat progress bar

But when on the emulator (running Android 7.1.1), I only get the version with an arrow tip (also, it's not being animated)

arrow-pointed progress bar

I've already tried removing every single bit of customization on top of the base AppTheme, which inherits from Material:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Material.Light"></style>

The ProgressBar is declared without any styling whatsoever, plain:

<ProgressBar
    android:id="@+id/sign_in_activity_login_progressbar"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:indeterminate="true" />

I'm at a loss here, already removed everything on the project that could reference styling, but this still happens. Already cleaned/rebuilt the project many times. What am I missing? How can I make that progress bar look like the flat one?

This is the problem of the emulator. Sometimes emulator does not give us the proper result.

If you run it on a device then you will get to see the difference and it also depends on a device. If any device's OS is customized then the progress bar may look different.
