Flutter doctor reports seeing two installations of Android Studio

Question

Why is flutter reporting both a valid and an invalid installation of Android Studio at the same location? The error encountered is below:

Please run "flutter doctor" to diagnose potential issues

Can you please assist in resolving this issue, thanks.

Answer 1

I recommend clearing the android-studio-dir and android-sdk settings, and let flutter automatically detects their path instead:

$ flutter config --android-studio-dir=""
Removing "android-studio-dir" value.

$ flutter config --android-sdk=""
Removing "android-sdk" value.

Answer 2

Deleting the folder with the config files of the previous versions of Android Studio solved me the issue. I had 2 versions of Android Studio after it updated.

.AndroidStudio3.3 
.AndroidStudio3.4

So I deleted the config files of version 3.3(.AndroidStudio3.3) and kept only the config files of version 3.4(.AndroidStudio3.4)

You can find these folders in the home directory if you're a Ubuntu user and you did a default installation for Android Studio. These folders are hidden so you will have to un-hide them first.

Be sure to import the previous settings when prompted after the update or else you will have to re-install all the dependencies you worked with before deleting the old config files.
