How to fix crashes and bugs in Antigravity with temporary workarounds?

Many users report that the latest Antigravity update causes repeat crashes and unstable behavior. The fastest reliable fix is to install the December 2025 build and turn off auto updates until Google ships a patch.

Antigravity crashes after the latest update and how to quickly regain stability

You may see Antigravity crash on launch, freeze on a blank screen, or loop when loading the agent. Some users worry about losing the agent conversation history and ask how to safely get the December 2025 installer. If your Stitch projects are also failing to load when Antigravity crashes, see this targeted walkthrough for project loading failures: troubleshooting Stitch projects that refuse to open.

Step by Step Solution

1. Disable auto updates first so the device does not reinstall the bad build
  • Open Google Play Store
  • Tap your profile
  • Tap Settings then Network preferences then Auto update apps
  • Select Do not auto update apps or open the Antigravity app listing and turn off Enable auto update from the three dot menu
External help: see Google Play instructions for auto updates here [https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/113412]. 2. Protect your agent conversation history before uninstalling Ideally export chats from within the app if Antigravity still opens. Look for an Export or Backup option in Settings or Chats. If the app crashes too early, use adb to keep app data when you remove the current build. You will need a computer with Android Platform Tools and USB debugging enabled. Commands
# Identify the exact package name
adb shell pm list packages | grep -i antigravity

Keep data while uninstalling the app

Replace com.example.antigravity with the real package name from the previous command

adb uninstall -k com.example.antigravity
The flag -k keeps the app data directory so your chats can survive the rollback when the signatures match. Reference: Android adb basics [https://developer.android.com/tools/adb]. 3. Remove the crashing build If you used the adb command above you can skip this step. Otherwise
  • Open Settings then Apps then Antigravity then Uninstall
Note that uninstalling from Settings usually removes data. If you must keep history, prefer the adb method in step two. 4. Get the December 2025 installer from a trusted source and verify its signature Only install a package that is signed by the same certificate as your current Antigravity install. This is critical for both safety and data reuse. Verify the APK signature on your computer
# Show certificate info for the downloaded APK
apksigner verify --print-certs Antigravity-2025-12.apk
Check that the certificate digest matches the one on your currently installed version from before the crash build. You can read the installed certificate with
adb shell dumpsys package com.example.antigravity | grep -i cert
Docs for apksigner are here [https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/apksigner]. APK signature overview is here [https://source.android.com/docs/security/apksigning]. 5. Install the December 2025 build and allow a safe downgrade Use adb so you can request a version downgrade and preserve data.
# Install older version, request downgrade and retain data
adb install -r -d Antigravity-2025-12.apk
If the app is delivered as multiple split APKs such as base plus configs, install them together
adb install-multiple -r -d base.apk config.arm64_v8a.apk config.en.apk
6. Confirm your chats are present and the app is stable Open Antigravity and confirm the version in Settings or About. Verify the agent conversation history loads and new chats work without crashes. 7. Keep auto updates off for this app until the official fix arrives You can leave global auto updates on and keep Antigravity set to manual updates only. When Google publishes a fixed build, install it and then re enable updates for this app if you prefer.

Alternative Fixes and Workarounds

Opt out of beta tracks Open Play Store then Antigravity app page then scroll to Beta program. If you are enrolled, leave the beta and wait a few minutes, then update to the latest production version that is stable for your device. Clear cache only Open Settings then Apps then Antigravity then Storage and cache then Clear cache. Avoid Clear storage if you want to keep chats. Toggle experimental features If you can open the app, turn off Labs or experimental features that may have been enabled with the new release, then restart the app. Use the web or desktop client temporarily If available for your account, use the web or desktop build while the mobile client is unstable. Wait for the hotfix If you cannot safely downgrade because of a signature mismatch, hold on for the patch while keeping auto updates off to avoid repeated reinstalls of the same broken build.

Troubleshooting Tips

Signature mismatch or INSTALL FAILED VERSION DOWNGRADE
  • The downloaded APK must be signed by the same certificate as your previous install. Verify with apksigner and dumpsys package.
  • If the signatures differ you cannot keep data. You would need to fully uninstall then install clean, which will usually remove local history.
Split APK install errors
  • Ensure you install all required split files together using adb install multiple as shown above.
  • If you only have a bundle file aab, use bundletool to extract the correct splits for your device.
Play Protect blocks the install
  • Temporarily disable scanning in Play Store then Play Protect. Re enable after the install.
Still crashing after rollback
  • Collect logs to identify the module at fault
adb logcat | grep -i antigravity
  • Reinstall the December 2025 build once more with the downgrade flag.

Best Practices

  • Keep Antigravity on manual updates until release notes show the crash is resolved.
  • Before major updates, export your agent conversation history or back up the device.
  • Test new versions on a secondary device when possible.
  • Verify APK signatures before any sideload to protect data integrity and security.

Final Thought

The quickest stable path is simple. Turn off auto updates, keep your data, then install the December 2025 build with a verified signature. This restores a usable Antigravity experience while you wait for the official fix.
