Android Studio 3.2 RC3 keeps asking me to update the Google Play Instant Development SDK (from 1.3.0 to 1.4.0), but it always fails the update with this message:

Failed packages: - Google Play Instant Development SDK (extras;google;instantapps)

How can I fix this?

  • Close Android Studio completely

File -> Close.

  • Delete instantapps Folder form your sdk:

C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\google\instantapps

  • update again.

    By default the folder instantapps is in AppData\..., but to be exact: It´s in \extras\google, which can be anywhere. – gue22 Nov 16 '18 at 18:59
  • Oops, edit expired: But the actual reason for this post is my annoyance that this syscurity site uses 50% processor on my 45W Skylake, making me wonder what B* it does in the background! (The max I saw in normal ops is under 30%!) – gue22 Nov 16 '18 at 19:06
  • This solution is actually included in the comments when the error occurs. This should be the accepted answer. – Thunderstick Nov 22 '18 at 11:37
  • This worked for me, thanks and this should be the accepted answer – Anish Arya Dec 16 '18 at 06:06

I was able to get this working by:

  1. Closing my project (File -> Close Project)
  2. Open SDK Manager from the gear at the bottom of the window
  3. Click Updates on the left
  4. I had to do this twice and it worked the second time.

If that won't work you can try File -> Invalidate Cache/restart -> Invalidate Restart. Android Studio will close and restart and then updates should install properly.

After delete, you reinstall here "Instant"

  1. find the SDK folder instalation,
  2. go to extra-google-instantaps, delete that folder instantaps
  3. and after that update again with sdk manager, that old version is the problem

Solved this (in a similar way to previous, with one exception) by

1: Closing Android Studio File -> Close

2: deleting .installer and tools folders in C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\google\instantapps

3: Launching SDK Manager from Configure dropdown beside gear icon

Note: I tried deleting the entire instantapps folder but when I did this I did not get presented with the option to install Instant Development SDK.

  • Nailed it. I followed these steps and a new button popped up near the gear icon reporting the update available and now this issue is solved. Thank you! – JorgeAmVF Nov 09 '18 at 01:00

  1. Close Android Studio

  2. Go to the SDK installed folder
    C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
    or maybe you installed in another drive

  3. Then go to extras\google\instantapps and delete this instant apps folder.

  4. Now open Android Studio
  5. Tools -> SDK Manager -> SDK Tools -> Check the box before
    "Google Play Instant Development SDK"
  6. Click Apply and ok
  7. Enjoy your problem free life.

If your version of Android Studio is 3.2, you can go to C:\Users\xxx and delete the version folder other than <.AndroidStudio3.2>. I did this and it succeeded.

Just needs Administrator privilege to install. Try run Android studio as administrator.
