Unable to find bundled Java version on Flutter

Question

I have Android Studio version 3.0
When I use the command flutter doctor it shows me the following,

Unable to find bundled Java version

My current Java version is (build 1.8.0_131-b11)

You've seen this? https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/15514#issuecomment-373329235 — KhoPhi, Jul 11 '18 at 09:34
I'm facing the same issue despite my Android Studio being a fresh install from the official Android Developer portal. — DYS, Sep 01 '21 at 06:05

Worked with me after updating to Android Studio Arctic Fox 2020.3.1 on July 30th. Thanks – M. A. Jul 30 '21 at 12:31
just add a bit info. from that mkyong.com article, you only need to execute the command from 2.1 2.2 and 2.3 then continue to execute the command from Nalawala above. it works! – Alexa289 Jul 31 '21 at 02:23

I am using `JetBrains Toolbox` which installs Android Studio on a different directory which is `/Users/username/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/AndroidStudio/ch-0/203.7583922/Android Studio.app`. I will edit your great answer to ensure that it supports all of macOS users. Your solution is great. – Ambitions Jul 31 '21 at 15:07

broke for me after upgrading to arctic fox. Why can they not simply fix this? Why, after every update, do we need to jump in and fix the mess they make? – Chris Hardaker Aug 22 '21 at 13:54
After many tries, this was what solved. Thanks – Thiago Silva Aug 29 '21 at 23:27
this is the ideal answer, thanks for the person how wrote this post, and also the path article. – M.Nasri Nov 18 '21 at 18:54
creating sym-links (as suggested in this answer) will break it once again when you update Android Studio. Better just follow steps 3 + 4 in the linked article from mkyong.com – bbjay Dec 07 '21 at 17:17
Worked perfectly on Android Studio Preview, with slight change to command to account for beta version "cd /Applications/Android\ Studio\ Preview.app/Contents/jre" – Mijawel Dec 23 '21 at 23:24

Those on the Beta Versions of MAC OS Beta, Xcode Beta, Android Studio Preview.

Just ensure your path ways are correct to the Applications files for Flutter.

To fix JAVA Bundle for Android Studio Preview do this:

cd /Applications/Android\ Studio\ Preview.app/Contents/jre

ln -s ../jre jdk

ln -s "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin" jdk

flutter doctor -v

Had this issue of ✗ Unable to find bundled Java version. Seems like the issue was with Android Studio (Beta Version)

Changed my Android Studio (Stable Version) to solve the issue

Here are the flutter doctor -v details for each Android Studio

Beta Android Studio

[!] Android Studio
    • Android Studio at /Applications/Android Studio Preview.app/Contents
    • Flutter plugin can be installed from:
       https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9212-flutter
    • Dart plugin can be installed from:
       https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/6351-dart
    ✗ Unable to find bundled Java version.
    • Try updating or re-installing Android Studio.

Stable Android Studio

[✓] Android Studio (version 4.2)
    • Android Studio at /Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents
    • Flutter plugin can be installed from:
       https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/9212-flutter
    • Dart plugin can be installed from:
       https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/6351-dart
    • Java version OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.8+10-b944.6916264)

Even after this issue persist then

Check for Java java -version which java
double-check that these are present in your .bashrc or .bash_profile or .zshrc

export PATH="$PATH:/usr/bin/java"
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)

I have both the stable and the beta Android Studio installed, how did you change your Android Studio? — Ananth, Jun 21 '21 at 18:15
in Android Studio update your Preview channel to Stable.. https://developer.android.com/studio/preview/install-preview#change_your_update_channel — samridhgupta, Jun 22 '21 at 02:23

Please ensure Java is in your PATH and that JAVA_HOME is defined and pointing to the JDK. I've had Windows put the JRE in the path instead of the JDK, which leads to all kinds of issues.

Please take a look at your PATH environment variable and remove everything Java related that does not point to the JDK folder.

Oracle has some documentation on how to do this here : Installing Java and setting JAVA_HOME

The JAVA_HOME path, as stated in mkyong link by @Nalawala answer, must refer to a Java 1.8 JDK/JRE.

With Java 11 the flutter doctor --android-licenses command throws some ClassNotFoundException's

In my case, there were two "Android Studio" folders. One was "Android Studio" and another was "Android Studio1", the "Android Studio1" had the actual app installed and the "Android Studio" folder was empty. Deleting the empty folder and renaming the "Android Studio1" to "Android Studio" fixed the issue.

In my case, I recently bought an M1 Macbook and then installed Android Studio with the Jetbrains Toolbox but

This folder doesn't exist

/Users/username/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/AndroidStudio/ch-0/203.7583922/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre

So I follow what this comment say and now is working just fine https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/76215#issuecomment-893512809

1.- Go to Applications folder then right click on your android studio app 2.- click on Show package contents 3.- open a terminal inside jre folder then create the new jdk folder

mkdir jdk

4.- move the folder Contents into jdk

mv Contents jdk

After refreshing my terminal, flutter doctor works just fine!

This will probably break other stuff. Also, it stops working when you update Android Studio — bbjay, Dec 07 '21 at 17:15

Then right click on the file and go to Properties.
Then Go to permissions and Check the box "Allow executing file as program".
Finally, run flutter doctor to see No issues found!.
