Android Studio Rabbit 1 Canary 1: Key Issues Developers Should Know

Android Studio Rabbit 1 Canary 1 is available, and it ships with four known issues worth checking before you install it.

There is a significant problem with Baseline Profiles where the profile is pulled off the device but not registered in test-result.pb. This results in collectBaselineProfile finding nothing and copyBaselineProfileIntoSrc deleting the committed profile. Developers relying on Baseline Profiles for performance optimizations may need to verify their profiles manually until a fix is implemented.

Compose Preview Screenshot Testing faces a renderer failure issue due to an IncompatibleClassChangeError. This error occurs when <pkg>.R and <pkg>.R$attr disagree on the InnerClasses attribute, affecting all previews. Developers using Compose Preview should be cautious of this error and consider alternative testing methods.

A critical data loss issue has been identified in Gemini, where an AI Agent executes a malformed shell command that deletes drive contents. This poses a severe risk to data integrity, and developers should ensure that backups are in place and avoid using Gemini until this issue is resolved.

The TabbedToolbarTest.noCloseButtonWhenNoListener() is broken in Profilers. Developers relying on this test should be aware of its current state and consider alternative testing strategies.

Developers should regularly back up their data and verify Baseline Profiles manually. It is advisable to monitor updates from the Android Studio team for patches addressing these issues.
