Can you select the log and see if you can spot the error message? Or just post the entire log?

@marcprux I think I have a similar problem on my end. Here are my tests:

~/Developer/hello-skip  echo $JAVA_HOME /Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jbr/Contents/Home

Is this set in your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc file? If so, you may want to just remove it, and then open a new Terminal window and make sure that echo $JAVA_HOME returns nothing.

~/Developer/hello-skip  cd /opt/

There is nothing in /opt/? Do you have homebrew installed? What does which brew report?

If it is something like /usr/local/bin/brew, then you probably need to re-install Homebrew (from https://brew.sh), since that indicates the old Intel version that doesn't work with Skip on an M1 ARM Mac.

@marcprux Thank you!

[marcprux]

Did reinstalling Homebrew fix it?

[ValeriyKliuk]

@marcprux Yes!

Here are my steps:

brew list # to reinstall after what I need
brew uninstall --cask --force $(brew list --cask)
brew uninstall --force $(brew list --formula)

brew autoremove
brew cleanup

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/uninstall.sh)"

rm -rf /usr/local/Homebrew

and start over:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

brew install skiptools/skip/skip

[marcprux]

Thanks for the info! A Homebrew installation from an Intel Mac that carries over (via migration) to an ARM Mac has been often seen to exhibit this issue. The programs it install mostly work (via Rosetta emulation of the Intel instructions), but there are a lot of things that break, and Skip is one of them.

We try to identify this situation in skip checkup, so I'm surprised that it didn't give you some kind of warning. I'll look into improving the diagnostics, since the resulting failure is always very obscure and confusing.

[marcprux]

All that said, I'm not sure if this is the same as @KhayalSuleymani's issue. If there is any more information on this, please post it here.
