Error: openjdk@8: no bottle available!
You can try to install from source with:
  brew install --build-from-source openjdk@8
Please note building from source is unsupported. You will encounter build
failures with some formulae. If you experience any issues please create pull
requests instead of asking for help on Homebrew's GitHub, Twitter or any other
official channels.

From what I can tell, this is because the M1 chip needs it's own special version of OpenJDK – might be worth documenting in the installation instructions for now: https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/install/

Yeah sorry no idea. Not sure what special things M1 need. Will accept PRs.

The Homebrew formula depends on openjdk@8, which isn't available for M1 macs.

However, in my experience installing the latest openjdk (brew install openjdk - make sure it's added to PATH) and following the non-Homebrew installation instructions from https://ibotpeaches.github.io/Apktool/install/ works fine.

What I take away from this is that apktool can work fine with openjdk 16, and the homebrew formula could probably be updated to reflect that.

[iBotPeaches]

It appears this is related to the forced lock on openjdk8 as mentioned above. I don't have the knowledge with homebrew to know if you can create various allowed JDKs versions, like a composer package that could work with guzzle5 or 6.

So I'll just link the formula https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/apktool.rb and close this. The issue appears to be a 3rd party formula and I don't have the homebrew knowledge to know proper fix.

[Pointy]

Note that JDK 8 is required for a lot of projects. Substituting a newer JDK may be not an option for many projects.
