AGP Upgrade Assistant window not opening in Android Studio

Having exactly the same problem! did you find any solution for that? – Donniedonnish

Answer 1

The AGP Upgrade Assistant opens only when you open the Android folder as an Android project

Yes, originally I was opening my project on the ../android folder. Once I opened the android folder as a project the AGP Upgrade Assistant opened :) – Wanonah

Just to add my voice to the choir: This is what worked for me. And the upgrade assistant then updgraded Gradle and its dependencies -which is what I needed. – Ebullient

I have the same problem now with Android Studio Flamingo | 2022.2.1 Patch 1. The described solution does not work for me. Anybody else with the same problem? – Wildman

@Harry, I experience the same with 2022.2.1 Patch 1 – Aga

Is there a reason for this roundabout behavior? This still doesn't work for me and I open my project by going to File > Open > MyProject. – Gobbledygook

There is a new option under Tools > Flutter > Open for editing in Android Studio. After a lot of syncing and indexing you can run the APG upgrade assistant from the Tools menu. I could upgrade to 7.4.1, but a subsequent upgrade to 8.0.1 failed..... – Fourfold

Verified, Fails on this | Android Studio Flamingo | 2022.2.1 Patch 1 – Flanigan

Useless answer. You should show how to open the Android Folder as an Android Project. – Incommodity

You really have to go through File > Open and open the Android directory under your flutter project. Wait until the Android Studio is ready with all kind of analysis and update stuff. Then go to Tools > AGP update assistant – Fourfold

Answer 2

You should open Tools---> Flutter ---> Open Android module in Android Studio

It will open another window which opens the Android folder as in the below image.

Nope, that does not work. you really have to go through File > Open and open de Android directory under your flutter project. Wait until the Android Sudio is ready with all kind of analysis and update stuf. Then go to Tools > AGP update assistant – Fourfold
