asdf is a popular version manager for Java, Ruby, and more. You can now use sdkman or asdf to install the Zulu JDK. If you’ve already installed adoptopenjdk8, uninstall it with brew uninstall adoptopenjdk8. Note: I’m hearing that openjdk-17.0.2 and adoptopenjdk-17.0.2 are both arm64 -compatible, so you can install those instead of Zulu’s if you want. Use sdkman or asdf to install Azul’s Zulu JDKĪzul has put out a nice Java JDK that works natively on the Apple M1 chip and is much faster. The problem is that, while this will work on an M1 Mac, it’ll run under Rosetta 2, which is sort of a translation layer for Intel-compiled binaries. (Previous versions of this article referenced adoptopenjdk8 ). Pretty much every “Installing React Native on Apple M1” guide out there contains these instructions: # (if you're lazy and not reading my article, # don't actually run this please) 😂 brew install -cask adoptopenjdk/openjdk/adoptopenjdk11

While we are still working on updates to our free React Native installation guide to include Apple M1-specific instructions, I figured it would be a good idea to put out this quick-hit article on how to set up your M1 Mac with the right Apple Silicon / arm64 compatible JDK. Please follow the official React Native installation instructions instead. NOTE: This article is no longer up to date. It was written Novemand updated February 23, 2022. Note that this article will likely age poorly as React Native & adoptopenjdk are upgraded. Speed testing my new 2021 M1 Max MacBook Pro (left) and 2019 Intel i9 MacBook Pro (right)
