How to switch to beta channel on Android Studio Chipmunk? - android

Followed the instructions as given here - https://developer.android.com/studio/preview/install-preview#change_your_update_channel
There is no dropdown to select the channel. Is there any other way?

You can install the Beta and other version using the Toolbox App. In the Toolbox click three-dots menu -> Other Versions.

The option seems to be missing from Dolphin as well.
For installing Android Studio itself you can use the Toolbox App as suggested by #viachaslau-tysianchuk.
For installing SDK components from canary / dev / beta channels you can use the command line sdkmanager by specifying the --channel flag, like so:
./cmdline-tools/latest/bin/sdkmanager --channel=1 "extras;google;auto"
Note that the cmdline-tools are not installed by default, you should first install them via the old SDK tools or just download from here: https://developer.android.com/studio#cmdline-tools

You can no longer switch channels from within Android Studio as of Chipmunk or Dolphin, instead you need to install the correct preview installer(beta/canary) from https://developer.android.com/studio/preview

Autocomplete Layout Not working with CompileSdk 33

My problem arises when I want to run an app in debug mode with the device connected, but it told me that a library required a minimum of compileSDK 33.
When I change to this version, the autocomplete of the layout & I create on the code side does not work correctly.
I cannot create a component and fill it with its default properties, nor can I create the strings by pressing ALT + ENTER in Windows 11 OS.
When I return to CompileSDK 32, that problem no longer exists, but I cannot run the application directly if I do not update to 33.
The problem is in this library that requests it

For the case of Chipmunk | 2021.2.1 which is the latest update as of today this problem has not been fixed yet. And apparently it will never be fixed in Chipmunk.

Android application only works on my device

my current android application only works as required on my device.
when any of my colleagues build the same github branch the app builds and installs ok however the compose navigation does not work
if i build an apk and distribute it to my team this works fine
we have compared gradle.properties and local.properties for all team members and these are identical to mine.
we are all using the same Android Studio version of

what could be causing this issue?
what config are we missing?
the part of the app that does not work for my colleagues is that the compose navigation does not work, the app employs a backdrop with menu items that allow the user to navigate to other sections of the application. clicking on these menu items only works for me
we resolved this issue by deleting the .idea folder of all my teams Android Studio installations

Android Studio no longer shows build directory in project pane's project tree

Android Studio used to show my build directories as orange directories in the project tab when displaying as "Project" (as opposed to the "Android" view). Now the only way I can verify if the build succeeded is to open a file browser or a terminal. How can I unhide the build directory and display all items in my directory via the Project pane? i.e. I don't want Android Studio filtering/hiding anything. I want to see everything in the directory.
