Google Play Instant Development SDK Update Fails

Question

Android Studio 3.2 RC3 keeps asking me to update the Google Play Instant Development SDK (from 1.3.0 to 1.4.0), but it always fails the update with this message:

Failed packages: - Google Play Instant Development SDK (extras;google;instantapps)

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

I was able to get this working by:

1. Closing my project (File -> Close Project)
2. Open SDK Manager from the gear at the bottom of the window
3. Click Updates on the left
4. I had to do this twice and it worked the second time.

If that won't work you can try File -> Invalidate Cache/restart -> Invalidate Restart. Android Studio will close and restart and then updates should install properly.

Answer 2

• Close Android Studio completely

File -> Close.

• Delete instantapps Folder form your sdk:

C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\google\instantapps

• update again.

1. find the SDK folder instalation,
2. go to extra-google-instantaps, delete that folder instantaps
3. and after that update again with sdk manager, that old version is the problem

Answer 5

Solved this (in a similar way to previous, with one exception) by

1: Closing Android Studio File -> Close

2: deleting .installer and tools folders in C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\google\instantapps

3: Launching SDK Manager from Configure dropdown beside gear icon

Note: I tried deleting the entire instantapps folder but when I did this I did not get presented with the option to install Instant Development SDK.

Answer 6

1. Close Android Studio

2. Go to the SDK installed folder
   C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
   or maybe you installed in another drive

3. Then go to extras\google\instantapps and delete this instant apps folder.

4. Now open Android Studio
5. Tools -> SDK Manager -> SDK Tools -> Check the box before
   "Google Play Instant Development SDK"
6. Click Apply and ok
7. Enjoy your problem free life.

Answer 7

If your version of Android Studio is 3.2, you can go to C:\Users\xxx and delete the version folder other than <.AndroidStudio3.2>. I did this and it succeeded.

Answer 8

Just needs Administrator privilege to install. Try run Android studio as administrator.
