and the android studio plugin guide https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/android-studio.html#configuring-the-plugin-pluginxml-file
After created the project using the wizard and added the section runIde.

Your runIde needs to be in the tasks block:
tasks {
runIde {
// Absolute path to installed target 3.5 Android Studio to use as
// IDE Development Instance (the "Contents" directory is macOS specific):
ideDir.set(file("/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents"))
}
}
