Build Alexa Auto SDK on Apple Silicon

Question

I try to build Alexa Auto SDK https://github.com/alexa/alexa-auto-sdk/blob/3.2/builder/README.md

and I use an Apple Silicon M1, installed Docker successfully but

sadly I run now with

./builder/build.sh android -t androidx86-64 --android-api 28

into

Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION           = "1.36.0"
BUILD_SYS            = "aarch64-linux"
NATIVELSBSTRING      = "ubuntu-16.04"
TARGET_SYS           = "x86_64-linux-android"

DISTRO               = "aac"
DISTRO_VERSION       = "3.2.0"
TUNE_FEATURES        = "m64 core2"
TARGET_FPU           = ""

Has someone an idea how to solve this ?

I don't know if this will solve your problem, but I was facing a similar issue building the auto-sdk for android on MAC OS machines (intel based silicon) We were able to solve the problem by increasing the docker default ram usage (set to 2gb). https://docs.docker.com/desktop/mac/ After increasing to 6gb it worked perfectly.
