While I was updating Android Studio to 4.0 my pc shutdown a and after that when I launched the android studio I got the the following error.
I have tried this solutions but it is not working Android Studio 4.1 Canary 9 201.6466190-linux distribution corrupted?
On Mac:
Go to: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/AndroidStudio4.X
Delete:disabled_plugins.txt
The plugins you should not disable : Kotlin, Smali Support, Gradle, Groovy, Properties, JUnit, IntelliLang. Also you may not disable Layoutlib Native and Layoutlib Standard. If you disable these, Project View - Android would be stuck loading...
This problem may be due to disabling plugins. This list is found by trial and may not be correct. (Tested on Android Studio 4.2, Windows 10)
If this problem occurs even you didn't disable these plugins, please follow this answer for deleting disabled_plugins.txt and try again. https://stackoverflow.com/a/61913060/14180528
If anyone has the same problem in Linux, the directory is in the following path :
~/.config/Google/AndroidStudio2020.3/disabled_plugins.txt
Just open the disabled-plugins.tx file, Delete the line org.jetbrains.kotlin, Save and you are good to go
This situation, usually happens after you disable some essential plugins and restart the Android Studio.
For MacOS, Use following commands to reset Android Studio's configure files:
rm -Rf ~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio*
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.google.android.studio.plist
rm -Rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/AndroidStudio*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Logs/AndroidStudio*
rm -Rf ~/Library/Caches/AndroidStudio*
For windows, I don't know the commands, but you can try to delete the following file:
C:\Users\admin\.AndroidStudio4.0\config
Check the link here, pay attention to this filePath: ~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio4.0/disabled_plugins.txt
