Now you can create an emulator for M1 mac:

Android Studio Dolphin, build from September 29, 2022; includes arm64-v8a out of the box under the ARM images tab which works well with M1 mac.

Currently, no official stable emulator supported for M1 macs. Things are still in the development phase. Information is provided in the previous answer. Until official support comes, I suggest you use a physical device for testing of the application.

You can't create an emulator directly on Android Studio, not yet, although, you can use this repository that google created

https://github.com/google/android-emulator-m1-preview

Here you can find the installers for Mac: https://github.com/google/android-emulator-m1-preview/releases

Just install as any other software and when you open the emulator Android Studio will, automatically, recognize it.
