Android Studio 3.2 Release Candidate 3 available

Android Studio 3.2 Release Candidate 3 (RC3) is now available in the Beta channel.

RC3 is expected to be the final release candidate for Android Studio 3.2. If we find no additional blocking issues, this is the version of Android Studio 3.2 that we will release to the Stable channel. We’ve worked to fix a number of memory issues and bugs, as well as to bring a set of improvements and new features, and now we need your help to ensure that we're ready. Please, try this preview version in all of your regular workflows, and let us know if you encounter any issues that you think need to be addressed before we release Android Studio 3.2 to the Stable channel. We know that many of you have come to rely on Android Studio in your day-to-day work, and we greatly appreciate your help in ensuring that we have a high-quality release for you.

This update include fixes for the following bugs:

  • There were known issues with Kotlin 1.2.60 that are addressed with the Kotlin 1.2.61 components in this build.
  • "Manifest merger failed" and "Failed to resolve" errors occurred when using design libraries.
  • Errors and hangs occurred after migrating a project to AndroidX.
  • Incorrect libraries were being used after migrating a project to AndroidX.


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.

As requested above, 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.
