Remove ignored Android Studio update

Question

I have the 2.2.3 version of Android Studio on Ubuntu and I clicked "Ignore this update" by mistake. How can I apply the update without having to reinstall Android Studio?

I found the answer below, but I can't find the other.xml neither updates.xml files: Removing Ignored Android Studio (or Intellij) Update Builds

In Linux go to ~/.AndroidStudio2.2/config/options folder and edit updates.xml.

Remove ignoredBuildNumbers block.

In my updates.xml file, it was like below. Removing this block solved it.

<ignoredBuildNumbers>
    <item value="162.3764568" />
</ignoredBuildNumbers>

On my MacOS it was present on :

~/Library/Preferences/AndroidStudio2.2/options/updates.xml

And I removed the following lines

<ignoredBuildNumbers>
   <item value="162.3764568" />
</ignoredBuildNumbers>

I just removed the `` entry, not the whole ``. – Albert Vila Calvo Feb 05 '19 at 08:27
