Upgrading Android Studio - android-studio

So, its been awhile since I worked in Android studio, but decided to work an a old project.
I installed the latest version of Android Studio, copied the project from my old computer and imported it into Android Studio. When I tried to run it, I ran into a never ending sequence of problems, like SDK version, gradle plugin, kotlin version etc. being incompatible with this new version of Android Studio. So, my question is, is there a procedure to import an old project into a newer version of Android Studio to circumvent all this, or is one just stuck starting from scratch?

How to configure an iOS Application for Kotlin Multiplatform in Android Studio?

I want to add a Run/Debug Configuration for an iOS Application for a Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile application in Android Studio 4.1.2. However, there seems to be a problem with the configuration for iOS.
In the screenshot below you can see the problem. In the dialog "Run/Debug Configuration" Android Studio complains about
Error: Please specify Xcode project location in xcodeproj property of gradle.properties
Using the "Fix" button does not solve the problem. Android Studio just adds an additional xcodeproj to gradle.properties and the complains about a duplicate parameter.
I also tried different paths (relative and absolute) for xcodeproj. No luck.
If I remember correctly, it used to work out of the box. A new Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile project was automatically configured for Android and iOS. I'm not sure what changed. Probably something was updated.
Is this a bug with the KMM plugin? Or is there something I can do on my system to fix this?
don't do that with Android Studio.
Just open Xcode, click on 'open another project...', locate to the iosApp folder that named it when creating your project on Android Studio.
after that, just click run and have fun.
If the project doesn't run right away even on opening it from Xcode and shows the shared framework is missing, Then try generating the shared framework for iOS platform using terminal. Navigate to the project folder and execute
Command: ./gradlew packForXcode
Now the shared framework should have a xcode-frameworks product and you should be able to build and run the project through Xcode.
I fixed it by downgrading the Kotlin version from 1.4.30 to 1.4.21. You can check this thread here. To downgrade, download the version you want from the plugin store and choose the install plugin from disk as in the picture below
Upgrading Android Studio version to 4.2.1, KMM plugin version to 0.2.6, creating new KMM project with KMM plugin, the problem can be fixed automatically.
If you don't wanna use Xcode:
Look like there is some IDE issues in this versions, one option would be to downgrade the Kotlin version.
What worked for me was to download the latest Canary Android Studio and setup my KMM project there.
Hopefully soon this will be stable for the next versions

Android Studio Downgrade

Android studio doesn't create project structure

I am new to Android studio. I tried to create my first project and there is no project structure only gradle files. What am I doing wrong? I keep getting these files with creation of another new project.
Update SDK via Android SDK Manager. You need all packages in Tools to be installed.
But even after doing so, I can't make it to auto generate resources. So I continue to deal with it...
I found what was my problem. I updated Android studio from version 1.x to 2.x. On official site is written that if you try to install version 2.x into same location Android studio might not work properly and there could be some unexpected behavior.
So just removing Android studio and then reinstaling it, worked perfectly.
