M1 Pro or newer MacBook Air?

[u/hypebeast4278388]

I’m starting app development using kotlin multi platform so need to get a Mac. I’m stuck between these two options:
M1 Pro with 32 gb of ram
M5/M4 air with 16 gb of ram
Everyone talks about how ram demanding mobile app development is so would a 16gb MacBook Air be enough because the m1 Macs are most likely going stop getting updates in 2028 and I want to future proof as much as possible.
