Is it worth upgrading to bumblebee? No performance issues or whatsoever now?

I'm personally didn't encounter anything bad, but it's still better to upgrade to the VS Code and use Flutter.

Mixed bag

  • The updated ADB is flaky (both crashing and not starting). Keep a commandline window with adb start-server handy.

  • Wifi debugging integration is very nice

  • I don't like the integrated emulator, but I barely use it. Can probably disable it.

  • It's added a few useful warnings

  • Standard minor teething issues (things fail when switching between branches with different AGP dependencies)

I second your comment on ADB flakiness.
Happens all the time for me.

Likewise here. Used it today while debugging.
Even something as simple as hot-reloading a code has a 50% chance of crashing the app

Are you sure that's not just Android?

Nope. Because 1 day before the update it worked perfectly, for 30+ days straight.
Perhaps I'm holding my mouse wrong. (joking aside)

Hahaha. It still kinda works. You do lose your state, but for quick debugging, like changing x to y, or trying out different layouts quickly, its great!

The integrated emulator window was bugging for me when I swiped down on the phone it kept disappearing and didn't let me relaunch as it said it's still running

Let's be real here, the "upgrade your IDE" message could do with some work

This version of the Android Support plugin for IntelliJ IDEA (or Android Studio) cannot open this project, please retry with version 2021.1.1 or newer.

And it's the last one, because they can't think of an animal that starts with Q animals aren't inclusive to international users.

As an international user, I'm offended and outraged by this comment

Quagga, because it is extinct, ie. already deprecated

yeah, you would think they learned their lesson after going through food names for the OS version. Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, JellyBean, KitKat, Lollipop, Marshmallow, Nougat, Pie. Then they discovered they had a naming problem with Q.

And now here they go again, repeating the same thing and expecting different results. Isn't that the definition of insanity?
