Fresh project does not work on Android with a Mac M1

Description

I have a Mac m1, trying to get a fresh project running but no luck, the error message I’m getting is the following:

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
> compileSdkVersion is not specified. Please add it to build.gradle

I read the guide on M1 for IOS, but don’t see much info regarding android and M1

Snack, code example, screenshot, or link to a repository:

I tried doing some of the following in the app/build.gradle file but not a lot of luck

android {
    ndkVersion rootProject.ext.ndkVersion

    compileSdkVersion 29
    ....

or

defaultConfig {
       ....
      compileSdkVersion rootProject.ext.compileSdkVersion
    }
