Unable to Change Build Variant

Question

When I changed the variants in my project with android studio 3.5 in 2019, I could not change from Active Build Variants. I solved this by deleting the .idea and Build folders of the project and changing the Varieties from Active Build Variants in a new way.

**2019 :

Project build Gradle: 3.5.3

Android Studio: 3.5**

I can't change the Variants from Active Build Variants in any way in the project by keeping the same Build Gradle the same product Flavors Configuration. This is the only difference between the previous configuration and the current one

**2020 :

Project build Gradle: 3.5.3

Android Studio: 4.0.1**

Has anyone worked with Recent Build Variants? What could be the approximate cause of this kind of problem?

Try to untick File > Settings > Experimental > Gradle > Only sync the active variant

I've tried this method. But It can't change the Variants from Active Build Variants. Still Same Issues. Should I give a new windows to my laptop and reinstall my Android Studio? – Azmia Hoque Radhio Sep 14 '20 at 06:46
This solution worked for me. I had 3 variants and was not being able to changed them. It seems the default variant was stuck. At least in my case.... – César Ferreira Oct 19 '20 at 08:57

Maybe your project folder is in a symbol linked location, try to use the real location.

This was the issue in my case. I have my project stored in iCloud Drive and had created a symlink to shorten the path. Opening the project via the symlink path broke variant switching, whereas opening at the original path worked fine. – bmat Jul 14 '23 at 20:49

I fixed this by resyncing the gradle. enter double shift --> then search for sync --> resync gradle with project files.

In my case I had to update the buildToolVersion as it was lower than needed with the AGP version in one of my modules. When I updated it, I could change the build variant without any problem.
