Plugin "Fabric for Android Studio" is incompatible

Question

Since updating to Android Studio 4.1 I constantly get this error message on startup:

Plugin Error: Plugin "Fabric for Android Studio" is incompatible (supported only in IntelliJ IDEA).

That plugin is neither listed in Settings > Plugins nor is it not contained in the expected path.

Answer 1

After downloading "Fabric for Android Studio", it turned out that it is called CrashlyticsPlugin.
And when searching for CrashlyticsPlugin it turned out, that the JetBrains Toolbox uses different paths than the standalone installer does. Removing all occurrences of the CrashlyticsPlugin from %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\JetBrains\Toolbox\apps\AndroidStudio\ ch-0 and ch-1 solved the issue.

Thanks, this worked on my end as well. On Linux, the ch-0 folder is located in ~/.local/share/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps/AndroidStudio/ by default. – Reverberation

For me, I had to delete ~/.local/share/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/CrashlyticsPlugin – Daciadacie

In Windows 10 with AndroidStudio 4.1.2 I have deleted directory "CrashlyticsPlugin" in path "C:\Users\(userName)\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio4.1\plugins". I have solved the problem (1 year waited solution). – Bevins

in windows 10, with AS 4.1.3, deletin from C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio4.1\plugins work for me ! – Helical

in windows CMD+R -> %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio4.1\plugins get to the folder! – Helical

in MacOS I had to delete CrashlyticsPlugin directory from ~/Library/Application Support/Google/AndroidStudio{X}/plugins – Rowena

Answer 2

If you want to Enable/ Disable from Android Studio Go to File -> Settings -> Plugins

If you want to remove incompatible plugins manually, just go to the plugin path and delete the particular folder.

AndroidStudio Plugins default path:

**Windows:**
%appdata%\Google\AndroidStudio4.1\plugins

**MacOS:**
/Users/{username}/Library/Application Support/Google/AndroidStudio4.1/plugins
