Android studio update not showings

Question

I have Android studio version 1.5.1 in my mac OS. Latest version available in market is 2.0 as per http://tools.android.com/download/studio/builds/2-0

When i try to update, it shows me following alert.

It shows that i have latest version installed. Any idea what may have cause this bug? Do i need to download whole new setup?

I have tried by invalidating cache and restarting studio but no luck.

Answer 1

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
