To get your IDE back and running you have to remove the plugin from this directory "/.AndroidStudio3.2/config/plugins".

I am getting above error when open android studio every time. My android studio details are as below:

• Android Studio v 3.2.1
• Google Sceneform Tool (beta) 1.4.0 (Note: I am not updating this plugin as Android Studio Crash after updating it with a new version (1.5.0 or 1.6.0))
• Windows 10 Pro (64 bit)
• RAM: 6GB
• Processor: Intel Core i3 - 3210 CPU (3.20 GHz)

And in a viewer, I am not able to see the preview of the 3D object which we have created using Google Sceneform Tools for files (sfa and sfb).

That's right we are not able to update it from version 1.4.0 in Windows OS. While I tried it in Mac OS it updated and android studio open after updating it without a crash.

[michaelvogt]

Im using the plug-in without problems on Windows 10. Never had any crashes - but many other problems 😒

@michaelvogt

But I am getting this issue in Windows 10 as early mention configurations. Android Studio crashed after updating that plugin from version 1.4.0 to latest one.

[samigehi]

Yes there is compatibility issue with latest version of android studio and win 10, when I update plugin to 1.6 or 1.7 even Android Studio wouldn't start. 😒
Hope so google-ar team will resolve ASAP

[michaelvogt]

I had to use the plugin today, and it worked as always. Which means its a annoying like hell until it does what it should.

But, I don't have crashes. So I wonder, what's different between our environments.

I have:
Windows 10 (japanese)
Always available AS betas. Which is currently 3.4 beta4
Java that comes with AS
Always the Gradle requested by AS, currently 5.1.1
ARCore and Sceneform 1.7

Hi
@michaelvogt

Is there any solution to resolve the crash issue. Because today I am trying a new thing to resolve the crash issue but it couldn't resolve. Still, android studio crashed. The way I am trying is as below:

1. First I updated my JDK from version 1.8.0_65 to 1.8.0_101. Then I tried to update the plugin and then restart android studio which crashed after restarted.

2. Then again I updated my JDK from version 1.8.0_101 to 1.8.0_201. Then tried to install the latest plugin and still crashed. Then I again tried to install old plugin version 1.5.0 and 1.6.0 but for that two plugins, it still crashed.

I did not crash only when I install 1.4.0 plugin and works fine.

Please help me to resolve this issue.

And I have also uploaded android studio idea log file in #517

[michaelvogt]

@HEMAL-PATEL I'd be happy to help, but I don't know enough about gradle plugins to debug them.

My suggestion would be to avoid this plugin, because even when its not crashing, it is very creative in finding all sorts of other trouble. I personally will definitely use gltf models in the future (when materials can finally be created programmatically), which can be imported directly. While this importer also has its problems, there is some interesting work happening for filament, that should make the gltf import work much better (they say).

When you need the plugin, I would probably make sure that sceneform and the plugin are the same version. Then I wonder if the project loads with all the sceneform.asset entries removed. Does it crash when adding a certain model as an sceneform.asset, or does it crash with any model?

سلام

یک بروزرسانی جدید برای ابزار فرم صحنه گوگل با نسخه 1.6.0 وجود دارد. و من سعی کردم آن را از نسخه 1.4.0 تا 1.6.0 به روز کنم. اما هنوز، استودیوی آندروید پس از به روز رسانی و راه اندازی مجدد آن، کار می کند و سقوط می کند. باز هم من سعی می کنم استودیو اندیشه را باز کند، باز نشد.

هنوز موضوع تصادف حل نشده است. آیا کسی همان مسئله را دریافت می کند؟

hello, yes

[HEMAL-PATEL]

Hello
There is a new upgrade to the Google Stage Form Tool with version 1.6.0. And I tried to update it from version 1.4.0 to 1.6.0. But still, the Android studio works and falls after it's upgraded and restarted. Again, I try to open the Android Studio, it did not open.
Crash issue still not resolved. Does anyone receive the same issue?

hello, yes

Yes many developers are still getting same issue. Even with latest one version of 1.7.0 or 1.8.0.

[rastogitech]

Same issue with Android Studio 3.4.1 and SceneFormPlugin 1.9.0 (beta). Don't know why new versions are being release without this major crash fix.

That's right @rastogitech

Still facing many problems due to this issue. Not be able to use a new feature of this new latest tool.

[Barathwaja]

Yes am still facing this problem. Using Android Studio 3.4 with Sceneform Plugin 2.9

[Satish2804]

Still crashing. Using Android Studio 3.4.2 with the sceneform plugin 1.10

[HEMAL-PATEL]

Still crashing. Using Android Studio 3.4.2 with the sceneform plugin 1.10

Thats right. Nothing improvement from version 1.5 to 1.10. Android Studio crashed while updating from 1.4 to latest vestion.

[Satish2804]

Hi @michaelvogt, Why this issue is not resolved yet. We are unable to check model configurations before running the app. Apart from that every time importing the assets is getting the problem.

[michaelvogt]

@Satish2804
As I don't work for Google, I don't know. Activity around ARCore and Sceneform in general has been low (practically non existent).

They even didn't see it necessary to announce some catch-up features as they did so far.

@michaelvogt Sorry for misunderstanding you as a google developer and Thanks for the info.

[chnouman]

facing same issue. android studio gets close while loading project.

[HEMAL-PATEL]

facing same issue. android studio gets close while loading project.

@chnouman Try to use the latest version of Android Studio with latest version of Sceneform plugin. In my PC that issue is resolved after installing latest version of Android Studio.

Before installing the latest version of Android Studio, first of uninstalling Android Studio completely (remove .AndroidStudio3.4 or other files).

Android Studio - v3.5
Sceneform Plugin - v1.12.0

[chnouman]

@HEMAL-PATEL I resolved this issue by simply removing the project from the path from where the android studio was loading it and placed it on another location. Then tried to open android studio it opened up normally. Again I open a project from a new location and it works. Don't know technical reason behind it.

[erronblackk]

@HEMAL-PATEL thank you man you saved my day
