Not able to git pull in android studio 3.6

Question

I am getting error as mentioned below:

Update failed Invocation failed Unexpected Response from Server: Unauthorized java.lang.RuntimeException: Invocation failed Unexpected Response from Server: Unauthorized at org.jetbrains.git4idea.nativessh.GitNativeSshAskPassXmlRpcClient.handleInput(GitNativeSshAskPassXmlRpcClient.java:34) at org.jetbrains.git4idea.nativessh.GitNativeSshAskPassApp.main(GitNativeSshAskPassApp.java:30) Caused by: java.io.IOException: Unexpected Response from Server: Unauthorized at org.apache.xmlrpc.LiteXmlRpcTransport.sendRequest(LiteXmlRpcTransport.java:231) at org.apache.xmlrpc.LiteXmlRpcTransport.sendXmlRpc(LiteXmlRpcTransport.java:90) at org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClientWorker.execute(XmlRpcClientWorker.java:72) at org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClient.execute(XmlRpcClient.java:194) at org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClient.execute(XmlRpcClient.java:185) at org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClient.execute(XmlRpcClient.java:178) at org.jetbrains.git4idea.nativessh.GitNativeSshAskPassXmlRpcClient.handleInput(GitNat

In previous versions, I managed to fix it like this:

AndroidStudio -> Preferences -> Git -> SSH Executable and changed from Native to Built-in and it started working. See UI here: https://i.sstatic.net/KCvHA.png

But in android studio 3.6, I don't see above option in settings.

I have also tested the git using Test button at top right. Git is executing successfully.

I also have this issue. It's terrible and I can't find any workaround right now. I found a Google issue that was reopened few days ago: issuetracker.google.com/issues/124680708 – Hardunn

Thanks for the issue tracker link. I have added a comment there with details – Enclitic

I have the same issue – Cheddite

Me too. I was going to add a new ssh certificate using this tutorial from git... help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/… But in my case i found that just doing step 3... Add your SSH private key to the ssh-agent $ ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa and then trying android studio seemed to fix the issue. – Clasping

I was just typing a question describing me having exactly this issue and then I read "Similar questions" ... – Brookite

I also wanted to add that git pull and git push is working from the terminal, executed in the project directory. – Brookite

The same on a windows machine. On the mac, reset ssh helped. – Joelynn

I want to confirm that thanks to @Clasping I was able to fix the same issue. – Three

But what if I don't have an SSH key and I'm using password authentication? – Brookite

Answer 1

This issue is resolved in Android Studio 3.6.1. I verified it by updating from 3.6 to 3.6.1 and git is working as expected

You can find release notes here. It says

Git version control authentication issue resolved

In the initial release of Android Studio 3.6, operations requiring authentication in Git version control were broken in the IDE. This bug has been fixed in 3.6.1. See Issue #124680708 for more information.

Go to -

Android Studio -> Setting-> GitHub

If you can't login using username and password try to get a Token from GitHub from here -

https://github.com/settings/tokens/new

and then generate new token if you don't have one. And finally login with Token
