Android Studio Meerkat | 2024.3.1 Canary 1 is now available. But this sparked significant backlash from developers. Why? They want to put back Clean Project and Rebuild Project buttons! Many argue that these features are essential for effective development, especially when dealing with complex projects or resolving build issues. Here’s why developers are frustrated: 1. Android Studio should avoid creating situations where these buttons are needed. 2. Full-time developers use Clean/Rebuild multiple times a day. 3. Making it harder to use your computer's CPU for clean/rebuild tasks is frustrating. 4. Issues with views or Dagger/Hilt often require a clean/rebuild to resolve. 5. Google’s changes seem to make simple tasks more complex. 6. Removing these options ignores the real needs of developers. 7. Developers feel disconnected from those making these decisions. 8. Burying useful functions makes life harder for new developers. What are your thoughts on this change? Have you experienced similar frustrations with recent Android Studio updates? #android #mobile
