Android studio needs to be updated for Mac Monterey

Question

I am trying to install Android Studio after upgrading Mac to macOS Monterey Version 12.0 Beta. But after the studio gets installed I get the below error stating that Android Studio needs to get updated.

I am really not sure from where i get update the Android studio as after clicking on Ok button studio gets terminated.

Answer 1

There are two problems here:

1. Android Studio uses Python 2, which Apple is committing to dropping in a future version of macOS. That's what the warning is saying, albeit in less technical terms. It's up to JetBrains to update their IDE to not require Python 2, then Google to merge this change into Android Studio. There's nothing you or I can do but hope that this gets done before whatever version of macOS that drops compatibility complete ships.
2. You're running into an unrelated bug in Android Studio causing it to crash.

Update: It looks like Python 2 will be removed from macOS 12.3, and that Google will have a version that doesn't require it shortly (it's already in testing, I think).

Answer 2

Actually, it doesn't update Android Studio itself. I believe you should download the latest version of it yourself. Link: Android Studio 2021.1.1 Canary (Note: Canary is known for preview builds, upgrade to a stable version in the future)

If it persists, then it might be a bug from Apple/Google I believe.
