Android Studio offers updates to the not fully compatible IntelliJ version

[peterholak]

Right now, Android Studio (3.4, 183.5429.30.34.5452501) wants to install the v2.0.2-IJ2018.3 version of the plugin. Doing so leads to some issues:

• the run configurations are not compatible with the ones from the Android Studio version of the plugin (if they were created with the AS plugin, they can't be executed with the IJ plugin)
• it is not possible to create a run configuration for all tests, the Path field is not editable

There is a recurring issue of going back and forth between the IntelliJ versions and the Android Studio versions after every AS update (before the AS version becomes available), which messes with the existing run configurations every time, and causes the plugin to alternatively work and not work depending on which version AS thinks is the latest one.

Not sure if it's somehow possible to make Android Studio not offer the IntelliJ version as an update, which would resolve this.

@peterholak this will be fixed in the 2.0.3 release.

Known issue, not a priority right now.

I've looked at this before and got to nowhere. One possible solution is to constrain the version ranges of the mainline IJ plugin builds further (181.xxxx.* instead of just 183.*).
