Description
Summary from a Slack conversation:
product-info.json
is created by IJ platform build scripts and added to the root of an IDE distribution.product-info.json
is used by various JetBrains tooling (e.g. IntelliJ Plugin Verifier, IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin) to understand the layout of the IDE, the list of bundled plugins, and more.The
product-info.json
file in Android Studio is inaccurate because it is missing metadata for all Bazel-built plugins, including the Android plugin. This breaks JetBrains tooling, forcing them to add workarounds.The most straightforward fix is to stamp
product-info.json
with additional metadata during our Bazel build. (However, note: AFAIKproduct-info.json
is undocumented and its format may change slightly between releases.)
