Unfortunately, I also have X86 Mac apps that don't work on the M1, including the NDK portion of Android Studio, needed for building Android apps that use the NDK.

I have considered a Windoze laptop, but ugh.

I was doing fine, few headaches, on the X86 Mac with virtualization for Windoze. I do a lot of work with radios and EE devices, and they are rarely supported by Mac software, but always by Windows.

So those could, in fact, be run on Windows. But ugh.
