Project.xml file automatically gets edited and staged for commit in android studio after update

After updating Android Studio to 3.6.1, the following lines get added in Project.xml in .idea folder.

<AndroidXmlCodeStyleSettings>
  <option name="ARRANGEMENT_SETTINGS_MIGRATED_TO_191" value="true" />
</AndroidXmlCodeStyleSettings>

This file was previously added to git and pushed to GitHub so locally adding to untrack is also not helping. Upon doing so, it is staging it as a new file during the next time I click commit option in VCS tab.

I found here that it might be due to the NDK support plugin but even disabling it is not working.

You just need the remove this file from git.
Use:

git rm --cached <file>

and its no longer be tracked by git.

Since Android Studio always changes the Project.xml file, just try ignore that. If you want to commit or pull, just do a git checkout Project.xml and commit/pull afterwards, just keep in mind to not click into the Project.xml file or it will be changed again
