The uiautomatorviewer tool is very useful for inspecting the app's Views to get things like View IDs for writing Espresso tests.

This tool cannot run on my Mac with an M2 Apple silicon chip (arm64 / aarch64 architecture). At best (using x86_64 JDK 8 from Oracle, Rosetta doesn't make a difference), the window will open, but will be completely unresponsive.

I tried downloading new swt.jar files (/Users/myusername/Library/Android/sdk/tools/lib only has x86_64 and x86 versions, I downloaded an aarch64 version and added it to this folder), using different JDK versions (including Azul Zulu ARM64 JDK 8 and 11), and using Rosetta (an application compatibility layer between different instruction set architectures). Nothing works.

I think uiautomatorviewer needs to be compatible with a new JDK Version (apparently nothing over JDK 8 works) and needs  to be compatible with aarch64 swt.jar files to display the UI.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Get a Mac with an Apple silicon chip
2. Run `uiautomatorviewer` in the terminal (if added to .zshrc / PATH correctly), otherwise run `./uiautomatorviewer` in the folder it lives in (I forget)
3.
