Android Studio 3.2 RC 2 now available


Android Studio 3.2 Release Candidate 2 (RC2) is now available in the Beta channel.

This update includes some bug fixes and the following behavior changes:

  • Android Gradle Plugin 3.2.0 now uses SDK build tools 28.0.2 by default.
  • The default version of D8 and R8 is now 1.2.43.

Additionally, there are several known issues in the bundled Kotlin 1.2.60 plugin. We recommend that you update to Kotlin plugin version 1.2.61 after installing Android Studio.

If you have Android Studio set up to receive updates on the Beta channel, you can get the update by choosing Help > Check for Updates (Android Studio > Check for Updates on Mac). Otherwise, you can download it here.

For information on new features and changes in all preview builds of Android Studio 3.2, see the Android Studio Preview release notes.

We greatly appreciate your bug reports, which help us to make Android Studio better. If you encounter a problem, let us know by reporting a bug. Note that you can also vote for an existing issue to indicate that you are also affected by it.
