I want to disable instant run but the menu point is not there. I know where the instant run should be, but it is completely missing. I don't know why. I just upgraded to Android Studio 3.5 but I get an error when using AsyncTask and I know that the problem can be solved when disabling instant run, but I can't.
See the screenshot for better understanding
This is my gradle (app)
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 29
buildToolsVersion "29.0.0"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.project.myapp"
minSdkVersion 21
targetSdkVersion 29
versionCode 13
versionName "1.1"
testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
debug {
resValue "string", "google_maps_api_key", GoogleMapDebug
}
release {
minifyEnabled true
shrinkResources true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
sourceSets { main { assets.srcDirs = ['src/main/assets', 'src/main/asset/'] } }
}
dependencies {
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0'
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.2'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:12.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:12.0.1'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

They removed Instant Run, replacing it with "Apply Changes". See the release blog post for more about the change. And the docs have more information about the nature of "Apply Changes".
in version 3.5 it looks like...
If you use the "Green Arrow" (Run app), Apply Changes will not trigger. And since "Apply Changes" does not alter the generated APKs there is no point "disabling" it.
- If you click Run App, a normal APK is generated, installed and run. Instant Run is not invoked.
- If you click "Apply Changes" or "Apply Code Changes", a normal APK is generated, installed and then Apply Changes triggers via class swapping.
It's here but you need Virtual Device or Smartphone with API 8 or more ...
