Android Studio won't update says already on newest version - android-studio

When I try to 'Check for updates' in Android studio I get the following message:
"You already have the latest version of Android Studio (Preview) installed."
I am on 0.5.2 and the newest version listed here http://tools.android.com/download/studio/canary/latest is 0.5.4. I have canary builds selected when checking for updates. Any ideas?

As Scott Barta has pointed out in a comment, this is because you have ignored the update, so it won't ask you if you want to update to it anymore.
The solution is simply to quit Android Studio, then edit its other.xml file, and replace the myIgnoredBuildNumbers block with the following one:
<option name="myIgnoredBuildNumbers">
<value>
<list size="0" />
</value>
</option>
other.xml is located under your Android Studio config directory:
For Unix: ~/.AndroidStudioPreview/config/options/other.xml
For Windows: %HOMEPATH%\.AndroidStudioPreview\config\options\other.xml (basically the same as the Unix path)
For OS X: ~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudioPreview/options/other.xml
See this question and its answer for more information.

Go to Preferences > Updates and clear out the versions listed in the View/edit ignored updates section:

Error being thrown when trying to debug from JetBrains Rider: error HE0004: Could not load the framework 'DVTITunesSoftwareServiceFoundation'

I am unable to debug a Xamarin.iOS application out of JetBrains Rider 2022.2.2. This is the error that gets thrown when trying to deploy to the simulator:
error HE0004: Could not load the framework 'DVTITunesSoftwareServiceFoundation' (path: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/SharedFrameworks/DVTITunesSoftwareServiceFoundation.framework/DVTITunesSoftwareServiceFoundation):

I had the same problem.
Let me guess... You just upgraded to XCode14 and the corresponding Command Line Tools?
Downgrading XCode and Command Line Tools to 13.4.1 helped me.
What worked for me
Go To https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=command%20line%20tools
Download XCode and Command Line Tools for Xcode 13.4. Unpack Xcode (13.4.1) and rename it (for example Xcode 13) and place it parallel to Xcode (14) in the programfolder.
.
Then install the Command Line Tool.
Now in Xcode (still 14) > Preferences > Location > Command Line Tools, select version 13.4.1 instead of 14. You can see the Path for it is "Application/Xcode 13".
For safety restart tools, and it worked again...
Update: With the last update of Visual Studio, the downgrade was no longer necessary for me. Since then I can build the apps with XCode 14 and the corresponding command line tools without any problems. So I suggest upgrading Visual Studio to the latest version first.
Here is how I made it work:
Download the former version here (note: you need a developer account)
Double-click on the downloaded .xip file to install XCode 13.4.1
Rename the newly installed XCode application into Xcode.13.4.1.app and move it into your Applications folder
Open the usual XCode application and go to the preferences
In the locations tab you will be able to select XCode 13.4.1 for Command Line Tools
Redownload Visual Studio?
It turns out Microsoft released a brand new Visual Studio at some point.
We haven't been in our Xamarin project for a while and even though it said there were no updates, no Simulators were showing up.
Our Visual Studio said the version was 8.10.25 yet when I was reading the release notes, they referred to version 17.3.7.
Our team had to download Visual Studio again and then we saw the version updated to 17.3.7.
So check your version of Visual Studio and redownload the newest one. That's what fixed this issue for us.
Latest update fixed the issue for me.
I had the same issue, while searching for answer I found this thread,
writing this to confirm that I took the latest update on 9th nov(NET 7 SDK). Issue seems resolved with latest update.
There is a more elegant solution to this problem. You need to upgrade Xamarin.iOS manually. The releases are on GitHub 16.0.0.72 did the trick for me.

Android Studio missing essential plugin org.jetbrains.android

I have just updated to Android Studio 4.1 Canary 9, but I am getting the following error:
Missing essential plugin:
org.jetbrains.android
Please reinstall Android Studio from scratch.
I've tried reinstalling Android Studio from scratch, as the error says, but nothing changes.
Just delete this file (or delete last disabled plugin(s) in this file):
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\.AndroidStudio<version>\config\disabled_plugins.txt
Update 10 Feb 2021:
If you couldn't find this address try this on windows:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio<version>\disabled_plugins.txt
Recently this Address transferred to here.
Update 04 August 2021:
If you are using windows 11
The App data folder is hidden and needs to be prompted(just search how to take out the missing app data folder in windows 11)
Then go to the same location as earlier mentioned and delete that file
On Mac OS
Open ~/Library/Application Support/Google/AndroidStudioXXXX.X
delete disabled_plugins.txt
restart Android Studio
For Windows users.
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudioPreview4.1\disabled_plugins.txt
Deleting this file will fix the issue.
More detailed information.
As the Known Issues section of the Android Studio 4.1 Preview page notes, if you are getting this error in Android Studio 4.1 Canary 9, it means that you have a locally installed Kotlin plugin that is not compatible with the new IDE.
To resolve it, you should delete the Kotlin folder from the following locations (from the above linked page), depending on your operating system:
Linux: ~/.local/share/Google/AndroidStudioPreview4.1
Windows: C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudioPreview4.1
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/AndroidStudioPreview4.1
For Linux and macOS, ~ refers to your home directory, and a directory can be removed from the command line (Terminal) with rm -rf directory_name_here.
There is no need to install a replacement Kotlin plugin, as it is bundled in that version of Android Studio.
On Linux (Fedora release 30), the issue happened after I wanted to disable Kotlin features during installation. I could resolve it by removing configure files:
rm -r ~/.config/Google/AndroidStudio4.1
Or just remove the disabled_plugins.txt file:
rm ~/.config/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/disabled_plugins.txt
Sometimes you are compelled to re-extract your android-studio on your Linux machine. Notice that removing ~/.local/share/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/ directory did not help me.
Disabling the Kotlin plugin for Android Studio 4.x causes this problem and you can't open the Android Studio until enable the Kotlin plugin again. To re-enable plugins without opening Android Studio, you can delete or edit the disabled_plugins.txt file from your Android Studio configuration path.
For Linux distros, the default configuration directory is ~/.config/Google/AndroidStudio4.x/
So deleting disabled_plugins.txt will enable all of your disabled plugins and solve your problem.
rm ~/.config/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/disabled_plugins.txt
For macOS, the default directory is ~/Library/Application Support/Google/AndroidStudio4.x
rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/disabled_plugins.txt
2022 - for MacOs Catalina:
Finder /
Users /
*your_username /
Library /
Application Support /
Google /
AndroidStudio20021+ /
disable_plugins.txt /
find and delete this line "org.jetbrains.kotlin"
or
delete the line causing your problem
On Linux, when disabling all plugins, this may happen (Artic Fox). The path is (or may be):
~/.config/Google/AndroidStudio2020.3/disabled_plugins.txt
Commenting out entries with a # is possible, in order to leave specific plugins disabled.
I'm using Linux Ubuntu 18.04 and Android Studio 4.0 and I found disabled_plugins.txt file in this directory:
/home/[your_username]/.AndroidStudio4.0/config
and after that I found I've put Kotlin plugin at the end of file.
Just remove that line, Android Studio will work.
By the way, on any other OS, you can find your file just by searching disabled_plugins.txt.
Library -> Application support -> Google -> AndroidStudio4.2 -> disabled_plugins.txt
For MAC Mojave
For MacOS BigSur
Root/Users/{your_user}/Library/Application Support/Google/AndroidStudio{version}/disabled_plugins.txt
Searching for the file won't work.
Gain access to root through Shift+cmd+g
Show hidden files using Shift+cmd+. (Library will most likely be hidden inside your user folder)
Got to C:Drive and delete disabled_plugins.txt file
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudioVersion\disabled_plugins.txt
If you don't find watch this video
https://youtu.be/sMzAw6xaiZU that I made.
On Mac OS
in terminal helped to find bad files find ~/Library -name disabled_plugins.txt
in terminal run rm '/Users/xxxx/Library/Application Support/Google/AndroidStudio2021.2/disabled_plugins.txt'
Delete File
restart Android Studio
For Windows users
C:\Users\Admin[if you have username].AndroidStudio4.0\config
There you can find disabled _plugins.txt
delete it and restart android studio
It seems you disabled your plugins before, so find and edit
disabled_plugins.txt
and delete the plugin you want to enable it.
In windows, the location of file is :
C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio...
Removing these from disabled_plugins.txt fixes the issue if you have disabled some of the plugins. Instead of adding back all the plugins, specify the plugins to enable:
groovy, smali, kotlin, junit // (i.e: Enable these)
C:\Users\Dell\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio4.1
and then delete >>>> disabled_plugin.txt
At the place of Dell, you can place your user name or device name(Example - Dell, Lenovo etc).
I'm using Android Studio 4.0 from homebrew.
And delete this
/Users/[your_name]/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio4.0/disabled_plugin.txt
in macOS Catalina 10.15, this file can be found at
/Users/{your_user_name}/Library/Application Support/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/plugins
Delete disabled_plugins.txt this contains all disabled plugins
This issue happens because of two reasons.
You disabled some plugins from Android Studio and Restarted.
Some Plugins disabled by any thread and you starts getting missing essential plugin org.jetbrains.android this error message.
Solution is simple.
C:\Users\Numan\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio4.1
Just go to the latest Android Studio Version, and find the text document file named as disabled_plugins. Now open it, and delete the lines which you think has been disabled, or otherwise delete the complete disabled_plugins file and open the Android Studio. You can also search disabled_plugins in your C Drive, and one text file will appear in case you're unable to locate it from AppData.
It Works - Cheers !!!
Error Reason: This issue occurs after disabling one or more plugin (example: Kotlin) from Android Studio 4.x settings (Android Studio -> Preferences —> Plugins —> Uncheck the Kotlin plugin -> Apply -> Ok —> Restart the Android Studio ==> ERROR prompt
Solution (Mac Specific): Remove the “disabled_plugins.txt” file
find ~/Library -name disabled_plugins.txt
Ideally, the path would be: /Users//Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio4.x/disabled_plugins.txt
rm disabled_plugins.txt
Restart the Android Studio
for Android Studio AndroidStudio2020.3 just remove this file:
disabled_plugins.txt
from this path:
C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio2020.3
All answers related with disabled_plugins.txt is right, but it is enough to just delete the line (it is not necessary to delete this file. Thus, previously disabled plugins will remain disabled.)
only windows user
try this
it works for me
I am Deleting this file disabled_plugins.txt
C:\Users\ashif.AndroidStudio4.0\config
Solution is to delete disabled_plugins.txt.
On Linux, Android Studio 4.1 path is:
~/.config/JetBrains/AndroidStudio4.1
In mac os use Cmd+Shift+. to show hidden files and when find disabled_plugins.txt
For Android Studio 4.2+ this happens when you disable the Properties Pluggin or Groovy Plugin, you can remove these entries from the disabled_pluggins.txt. For Windows users the file is located at:
C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudioPreview4.X\disabled_plugins.txt
Provide your username in the {username} field in the above address,
alternatively, you could just delete this file as the other answers mention!
If you are using JetBrains Tool Box to install just find the disabled_plugins.txt file on the path below: C:\Users[YOUR USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio2021.1
On Linux with Android Studio 4.1
it was another path for me, maybe this is the new format now?
~/.config/Google/AndroidStudio4.1

This version of Android Studio cannot open this project, please retry with Android Studio 3.4 or newer

This version of Android Studio cannot open this project, please retry with Android Studio 3.4 or newer.
but my android studio version is 3.2.1 and there is no new update from Google
Try to edit your project build.gradle file and set the android build gradle plugin to classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1' within the dependency section.
See also the documentation of the android grade plugin
It's a bit late, But easy and effective.
Click on About Android Studio,
Check the current version,
Open build.gradle of Project and put it in front of the class path. e.g Your studio version is 3.5.2, then your classpath should look like this
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.2'
You would need to lower your gradle version and android plugin version, or you can download latest version from beta or canary update channels.
To enable updates from other channels go to Help -> Check for Updates -> Congifure automatic updates and in that dialog select channel you want. After selecting check for update again and it will show you latest version.
This issue is caused due to use of newer version of gradle in the project.
There are two options to resolve this:
Option 1:
Change gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.10.1-all.zip
Change project level gradle build.gradle file
classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.2")
Option 2:
Update your Android Studio to newer version. (Highly recommended)
In IntelliJ IDEA this is an open bug: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-252823
As a workaround, you can change the build tools version as other people advise.
My project was failing with this dependency:
com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.0-alpha03
Now it's working with this:
com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.2
As a side note, you should change that dependency in build.gradle in some projects or in dependencies.kt in newer projects.
That was the most updated version that worked.
After an update the Android Studio does not show the layout's design for some reason. I tried newer versions as well, but it did not work. So I decided to downgrade my IDE.
When I opened my project, I got the same error. The solution was the following:
Open the Project Structure.
Select the Project field.
Use the appropriate Android Plugin Version. You can copy it from a new project's structure.
Change the Gradle version too what you need.
OK.
Find the gradle-wrapper.properties file and open it.
Change the distributionUrl to that gradle version url what you saved in the Project Structure.
Or if you don't mind, then you can update your AS.
Had the same Issue when i decided to install another version of Android Studio, what worked for me was:
Creating a new project with the current version of Android Studio just to go check the classpath version at the project level build.gradle inside the dependencies section, at the time it was this:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.0-rc01'
Copied that line and replaced it on the project i was working on.
in project's build.gradle file comment classpath com.android.tools.build:gradle:. File → Project Structure select Android Gradle Plugin Version to match Android Studio version
You can now update your android studio to 3.4 stable version. Updates for stable version are now available. cheers!!!
i just change gradle version classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.3' to
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.2' and now working.
I encountered with this error and just decrease gradle version and android plugin version to 5.1.1 and 3.4.2.
Close VPN worked for me! It suprised me.
this issue occur for me after downgrade Java JDK, after upgrade JDK my problem resolved.
Open android studio then go to help menu > check for update > Update your Android Studio to newer version.
If u r here because of Jetpack Compose, I had the same problem, and solved it by using the Arctic Fox Canary build of Android studio: you can download it at this link: https://redirector.gvt1.com/edgedl/android/studio/ide-zips/2020.3.1.12/android-studio-2020.3.1.12-mac.zip
This issue arises due to updates, You can resolve this by downgrading the gradle used from
com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1 to a previous gradle like com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0 or anything older than the current one
This usually happens when you're opening someone else's project after unzipping it. And the person has used an updated android Studio.
The way to solve it is
1.Go to Help and about to see your android studio version
2.Go to File>Project Structure> and set your Android Gradle Plugin version to your android studio version
3.Change the Gradle version to the one you usually use.(optional)
Build the project and it should run without any errors
This seems like incompatible gradle plugin vs gradle binary versions. You can find the releases here: Gradle Plugin release and compatiblity
Upgrade your grade plugin and grade binary to compatible versions and the app should start building.

How can I fix "Design editor is unavailable until a successful build" error?

I started to learn Android Studio. I try to echo out simple "Hello World":
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/activity_main"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingLeft="16dp"
android:paddingRight="16dp"
android:paddingTop="16dp"
android:paddingBottom="16dp"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello World!" />
</RelativeLayout>
but when I clicked "design" view, this error is showing?
Design editor is unavailable until a successful build
How can I fix this error.
I just noticed that my xml code is causing error. Is that why this may be not working?
Go to File > Sync Project with Gradles Files.
Quit the Android Studio ( not close the project Quit the Android Studio) then open the project and go to Android Studio > Build > Clean Project
Then
Android Studio > File > Sync Project with Gradles Files as the pic below
If your problem still exists then click the Install build tool as the pic below and then
Android Studio > File > Sync Project with Gradles Files
None of the above worked for me. what worked for me is to go to File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart
I faced same issue even after rebuilding my project multiple times successfully. I closed the project and re-opened, issue resolved.
First, find your build.gradle in your all modules in project, include app/build.gradle. Find the compileSdkVersion inside android tag, in this case, compile sdk version is 30:
Next, open SDK Manager > SDK Platforms, check for install SDK versions that there modules using, then apply to install selected platforms.
After installed, go to menu File > Sync project with Gradle files....
This issue often appear when project has many modules, each module use different compile SDK version, so app may be able to build but IDE have some issue while processing your resources.
Simply restart the Android Studio. In my case, I was offline before starting the Android Studio, but online when I did restart.
Do this
Build -> Rebuild Project
Install missing plataform and sync project
Go online before starting android studio. Then go file->New project
Follow onscreen steps. Then wait It will download the necessary files over internet. And that should fix it.
I got this problem after i added a line in my build.gradle file.
compile 'com.balysv:material-ripple:1.0.2'
Solution:
I changed this line to
implementation 'com.balysv:material-ripple:1.0.2'
and then pressed sync again.
Tada! all was working again.
In my case, it was because it didn't like that I left the minSDK and targeSdk in the manifest. Go figure.
just click file in your android studio
then click Sync Project with Gradle Files..
if it won't work,
click Build
click Clean Project.
it always work for me
The Android SDK Platform API Level that the project requires for targetSdkVersion may not exist.
Check the console of the Event Log tab of the IDE to see any errors eg. of the following type:
Gradle sync failed:
com.android.tools.idea.gradle.project.sync.idea.issues.SdkPlatformNotFoundException:
Module: 'common' platform 'android-29' not found.
Then install some API Level (29) in SDK Manager -> SDK Platforms and finally Sync again.
Edit you xml file in Notepad++ and build it again. It's work for me
I have the latest Android Studio 3.6.1 and yet couldn't build a simple 'Hello World' app as documented here "https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/android-training-hello-world/index.html?index=..%2F..%2Fandroid-training#3".
I applied various steps discussed above including the 2 most viable options which should have really solved this issue,
'File->Sync Project with Gradle Files' and
'File->Invalidate Caches/Restart' but to no avail.
Even though, I suspect standard answer should be one of these 2 options only for most, but for me the resolution came only after I went inside the 'File->Project Structure' and checked my SDK versions configured!
Android Studio and Gradle were using different JDK versions and locations.
Android Studio: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_241
Gradle: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-13.0.2
I had previously defined my JAVA_HOME environment variable by downloading latest JAVA SDK on my own from ORACLE website. Where Gradle was using the %JAVA_HOME% JAVA SDK version and Android Studio the built in SDK which came along with Android Studio.
Once I switched both to versions JDK 1.8.* (Any version as long as it is JDK 1.8. for that matter*) then simple 'File->Synch...' option worked perfectly fine for me!
Good luck the solution is in between one of these 2 options only if you are stuck, just ensure you validate JDK versions being referred to!
there are different solutions to this problem but I at the first u have to check to (build.gradle) maybe it empty. this especially if u downloaded code, not u created
and u will find just this line "// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules."
in this case, u need to open a new project and make copy-paste.then check the SDK and other settings.finally u have to sync
In my case, the Windows Firewall was blocking Android Studio (i.e. java.exe from Android Studio's jre/bin folder) from connecting to sites and downloading data. After Windows asked me if I wanted to allow the app through the firewall, I had to do a manual sync File -> Sync project with gradle files. After that, things were still disfunctional, a manual download of an SDK version 28 was necessary from Tools -> SDK Manager.
If you are in corporate setting where there is a proxy server, double check your proxy settings.
Go File -> Settings
Search for Proxy.
Fill out as appropreate.
Test connection.
If you think you fat-fingered the password, there is a Clear passwords button you can click to where you can re-enter your creds. HTH
I had tried to change SDK Version:
Check below image: In that I changed 27 from Android P

Remove ignored Android Studio update

I have the 2.2.3 version of Android Studio on Ubuntu and I clicked "Ignore this update" by mistake. How can I apply the update without having to reinstall Android Studio?
I found the answer below, but I can't find the other.xml neither updates.xml files:
Removing Ignored Android Studio (or Intellij) Update Builds
In Linux go to ~/.AndroidStudio2.2/config/options folder and edit updates.xml.
Remove ignoredBuildNumbers block.
In my updates.xml file, it was like below. Removing this block solved it.
<ignoredBuildNumbers>
<item value="162.3764568" />
</ignoredBuildNumbers>
On my MacOS it was present on :
~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio2.2/options/updates.xml
And I removed the following lines
