Room uses https://github.com/xerial/sqlite-jdbc a JDBC library for SQLite, can you please file a bug in https://github.com/xerial/sqlite-jdbc asking to support the aarch64 architecture in the new Mac + M1 Chip?

I don't have a M1 machine to try this out but my guess is they simply don't have yet a compiled SQLite native lib for the aarch64.

By the way, I imagine you can workaround this using a JDK x86/x64 version + Rosetta that would make the JNI layer load the right native library.

Yes, Apple Silicon is supported by this pull request https://github.com/xerial/sqlite-jdbc/pull/558, but not released yet.

Hope to be supported in the next version of Room. Thanks!

workaround for now

 def room_version = "2.3.0-alpha03"
    implementation("androidx.room:room-runtime:$room_version") {
        exclude(group:'org.xerial')
    }
    kapt("androidx.room:room-compiler:$room_version"){
        exclude(group:'org.xerial')
    }
    implementation("androidx.room:room-ktx:$room_version"){
        exclude(group:'org.xerial')
    }
    implementation 'org.xerial:sqlite-jdbc:3.34.0'

Not yet sorry, we ran into an issue with the JDBC library (https://github.com/xerial/sqlite-jdbc/pull/578) and we are waiting on a fix there before updating Room's dependency. For now, you'll have to force update the dependency with the workarounds described in this thread.

For those who are facing this problem, you can simply add this line before the room-compiler as a workaround now:

+kapt("org.xerial:sqlite-jdbc:3.34.0")
 kapt("androidx.room:room-compiler:2.3.0-beta01")

If the mentioned workarounds are not working, I recommend using this workaround instead, adding it to the root build.gradle. This will force using the given dependency in the whole project:

allprojects {
    configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy {
            force 'org.xerial:sqlite-jdbc:3.34.0'
        }
    }
}

You should use configureEach instead of all, FYI!

Just a note for others - fixed *in room 2.4.0-alpha03

we need a patch version for 2.3.x
