Those are the links that Google provide, I guess they are like CDNs.

I wanted to merge this but there is an issue in the preinstall script. It contains a version that does not follow the x.y.z schema but rather x.y.z.q. The Bash function update_package_version in update_packages will only update the x.y.z part but keep the q part in place.

I'd recommend putting the full version into the package.json file so that updating it works flawlessly.

I have updated the versions and also all the package.json files

LGTM

Hi @Zpecter !

I noticed this would fail on next run since there is no AS Code @ https://data.services.jetbrains.com/products/releases?code=AS&latest=true&type=release

I reverted your commits for now until there is a proper fix. Do you know the codes for that?

Compare

curl https://data.services.jetbrains.com/products/releases?code=AS&latest=true&type=release
and
curl https://data.services.jetbrains.com/products/releases?code=IIU&latest=true&type=release

The former does not work but the latter does (IntelliJ Idea Ultimate).

Hi, I didn't know that. The problem is that Android Studio, although is based on IntelliJ IDEA, it is not maintained by JetBrains, but by Google, so I don't know how to get that information other than this site:

https://developer.android.com/studio/archive

Hi, I'm creating an API to parse the above url and return a json similar to the one offered by JetBrains.

[JonasGroeger]

It's the only way. Check out update-packages in L55. There is where it would fail.

We need to have an API that provides us with the latest version. Is there something like this? I'd rather not scrape the website.

I noticed there is a "check for updates" menu in Android studio. Maybe intercept the http call with mitmproxy and use that?

[JuanFcoMiranda]

Yes, I think there should be an API too, I even sniffed the connection, but it's encrypted and I only see that is something like this: https://dl.google.com, but I can't find the rest, that's the reason I created my own API by parsing the html from that url.

[JonasGroeger]

I used mitmproxy to intercept the HTTPS calls and found out that they use

https://dl.google.com/android/studio/patches/updates.xml

for the update check. All <channel> with status="release" yields 2 releases:

• id="AI-1-release" (line 94)
• id="AI-2-release" (line 42)

Pick the topmost one (AI-2-release) and check the build number if its an update to the currently stored one.<build number="AI- 211.7628.21.2111.8193401" ...>.. If so, update the package.

Now this is where it gets tricky. From the build AI- 211.7628.21.2111.8193401 we cant reconstruct a release version like 2021.1.1.20 that we require to download the package (i.e. https://redirector.gvt1.com/edgedl/android/studio/ide-zips/$version/android-studio-$version-linux.tar.gz).
