I have Java installed from Adoptium using Brew . I already tried flutter doctor --android-licenses and removed the obsolete version of Android SDK Tools:

What could be wrong?

Answer 1

Apparently it's an open issue with Android Studio Electric Eel 2022.1.1 after I upgraded using Brew. The workaround is:

cd /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents
ln -s jbr jre

Answer 2

On Linux Operating System do this

cd /opt/android-studio

then

ln -s jbr jre 

Answer 3

For Windows you can try this:

1. Open a terminal with admin permissions (eg Press Win and type "cmd", "powershell" or "terminal", whatever you prefer, and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter )

2. Then type:

    cd C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio mklink /D "jre" "jbr"

Hints

If you have installed Android Studio in a different directory change the path.
If there is a almost jre directory you can simply delete it with rmdir /s jre this was the case on my system after an update to Electric Eel (2022.1.1).
