Code on the Go (CoGo™) was updated on November 10, 2026 to 26.46.
See Quick Build in action
Quick Build is an experimental feature that loads your saved changes into the running app in just a few seconds, without a full rebuild or reinstall. Quick Build can be more than four times faster than Quick Run (the green triangle) when making an edit to a running app, with fewer repetitive Android prompts to answer. (The actual speed varies based on the type of edit and phone specifications.)
Other fixes and improvements
- When you swipe up to display the bottom sheet, the project status message and a few lines of blank space are no longer displayed.
- The Jetpack Compose Preview plugin no longer crashes with a NoSuchMethodError and then disables itself when you open a preview. This was reported on Android 16 phones.
- Kotlin code completion is faster in large projects. Code on the Go now finds declarations through its file index and parses only the files that declare the name you need, instead of parsing every file in the package.
- When you tap + in the Add-ons Manager to install from the Download folder, the list now shows only .cgt files for templates and .cgp files for plugins, instead of every binary file. Files that are still downloading or in the trash no longer appear.
- The Quick Build status bar no longer displays “Tap again to rebuild” when it has already started the full build on its own. (Quick Build is still an experimental feature.)
- Code on the Go no longer crashes when a plugin passes an invalid working directory to a command it asks the IDE to run. The command now fails with an error that the plugin can handle.
