Updated to Android Studio Arctic Fox - Apply Changes is much, much slower

I have just upgraded to Android Android Studio Arctic Fox on Mac, and after spending some time reconfiguring everything, I have been able to make my current app working inside the emulator. Now that I am working thought, I realize that the "Apply Changes and Restart Activity" command is extremely slow. Every time I invoke it, Gradle is building and takes up to two minutes to finish and apply the changes. That's ridiculous and happens even if I change just a line of code. Never happened before, the same command used to take a few seconds!

Any ideas? Is there anything I need to set or change to make that work fast as before?

Along the way, I did some more research and saw that there are 2 known problems that you could have. However, there is also a solution to this. Take a look at this page with all known issues.

Possible problem 1:

The Android Emulator only works with API 30 and API S Developer Preview emulator system images.

Possible problem 2:

The incremental update patcher does not work in Canary 15. Meaning to move to the next preview version, you will need to download a fresh new copy. The update should be fixed in future releases.

In your case I would reinstall the update or otherwise check try an older version from the list here. If that doesn't work there is no other way then install Android Studio from scratch.

Hope it helped a bit, Good luck! :)
