Ionic github action apk 'Unable to launch Android Studio'

I am trying to build an apk from a ionic project using github action.

I created a fresh ionic project with angular.

name: Build Android

on: [push, pull_request]

jobs:
build:
name: Build APK
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout source
uses: actions/checkout@v2

- name: Setup java
uses: actions/setup-java@v1
with:
java-version: 1.8

- name: Setup Node.js
uses: actions/setup-node@v1
with:
node-version: 20.x

- name: Install Ionic
run: npm install -g @ionic/cli

- name: Install app dependencies
run: npm install

- name: Build Ionic App
run: ionic build

- name: Copy Android
run: ionic capacitor copy android

- name: Build Android Dev APK
run: ionic capacitor build android

- name: Build Android Release APK
run: ionic capacitor build android --release --prod

- name: Generate the Android App Bundle
working-directory: ./android/
run: ./gradlew bundle

- name: Upload dev APK
uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
with:
name: app-dev
path: apk/app-debug.apk

- name: Upload release bundle
uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
with:
name: app-release
path: apk/app.aab



The Build Android Dev APK and Build Android Release APK steps are failing

Here is the logs:

[capacitor] ✔ update android in 61.72ms
[capacitor] [info] Sync finished in 0.144s
[INFO] Ready for use in your Native IDE!

To continue, build your project using Android Studio!
> capacitor open android
Error: [capacitor] [error] Unable to launch Android Studio. Is it installed?
[capacitor] Attempted to open Android Studio at: /usr/local/android-studio/bin/studio.sh
[capacitor] You can configure this with the CAPACITOR_ANDROID_STUDIO_PATH environment variable.


Then the last step Generate the Android App Bundle is having this error, but i suppose I would need to fix the first error before:

Run ./gradlew bundle
/home/runner/work/_temp/f9bad4ef-d4dc-4d4f-905e-2efdacfa35b5.sh: line 1: ./gradlew: Permission denied
Error: Process completed with exit code 126.


How can I install android studio inside github action ?
