I've been trying to get android studio to clone a git repository, but I receive the error: 'Invocation failed Unexpected end of file from server'. I've tried enabling credential manager in settings as many tutorials have stated, reinstalling git, and reinstalling Android Studio, but it doesn't appear to be working. Currently running Manjaro Linux 21.2.4. and Android Studio Stable 2021.1.1. However using Android Studio Canary it works as expected, prompting my username and password of the server. I am also not receiving this error on a Windows machine. Here is the full error. What do you think is causing this?

    Facing the same issue. – Waheed Akhtar Mar 10 '22 at 15:14
  • Try using the canary version of Android studio and see if that does anything – applesea Mar 16 '22 at 23:45
  • I got this error while pushing commit after updating Android studio to Chipmunk version, invalidate cache and restart did the trick for me. The new studio version also shows a dialog for invalidate cache, I kept the 'Clear VCS Log caches and indexes' checked. – Swati Navalkar Jun 08 '22 at 13:57

In MacOS, I fixed changing inside:

Android Studio -> Preferences -> Version control -> Git 
[Use credential helper] to enable (without this didn't allow me to save the git address).

Then on the top menu:

Git -> Git remotes then + 
Add your git https address

Now, in my case, git pull failed because it didn't had a tracked branch. But allowed me to choose an upstream branch in the event log - this showed me an empty branch. Then I selected master and check a check box (sorry, I can't remember what it said).

I also had the same issue last week. I solved this with following steps:-

  1. Installed latest version of Git on my PC(Windows)

  2. Opened project home directory in Command Prompt

  3. Then from my browser, I logged in to my bitbucket account and I created app password, which is now mandatory I guess. Here are the steps to create app password

  4. I copied that password and went to command prompt again and executed git command (git push in my case)

  5. I prompted for bitbucket password first, I entered the password

  6. Then within cmd prompt I prompted for repository password, I entered the app password there

  7. Git command ran successfully. After that, I am able to perform git actions from within Android Studio again Hope the same steps may help you too!

  • tried many things, but your solution worked like charm, the app password was not working in Credential Manager, but it worked in CMD. thanks – Usama Saeed US Apr 09 '22 at 11:53
  • Yes, it's not working in credential manager, even in latest git version. For now, CMD is the only solution. – vChamps Apr 13 '22 at 05:27

In my case (Android Studio on a Mac) the Access Token had expired. All the suggestions described (including here) did not work. Only when I

  1. deleted the expired user in the settings Version Control > GitHub.
  2. then created the user with a new Access Token log in with Token, Generate...,
  3. then cleared the VCS Log caches and indexes File > Invalidate Caches... > Clear VCS Log caches and indexes,

I was able to complete the pending push request successfully.
