Users report that the latest Antigravity update causes repeated crashes and instability. The fastest reliable fix is to roll back to the stable December 2025 build and block automatic updates until an official patch arrives.
Antigravity crashes after the latest update
If your Antigravity app began crashing right after updating, you are facing a known regression in the most recent release. Symptoms include app force closes when starting a conversation, random UI freezes, and errors during agent interactions.

Fix crashes by rolling back to the December 2025 build
Step by step solution
Step 1 Confirm your data is safe before changing versions
- If you use a signed in account with cloud sync, open Antigravity and check Settings and Account and Sync to confirm the last sync time.
- If available in your build, export your conversation history from Settings and Chats and Export. Save the export to a folder you can access later.
- Optional technical backup for local files on Android
1. Enable Developer options and USB debugging on your device.
2. Connect your device to a computer with Android Platform Tools installed.
3. Back up likely app storage locations to your computer:
“`
adb devices
adb shell ls -la /sdcard/Android/data/
adb pull /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.antigravity ./antigravity_backup
adb pull /sdcard/Documents/Antigravity ./antigravity_backup/Documents
“`
Note that exact paths can vary by device and app version. Cloud synced data will repopulate after reinstall.

Step 2 Disable automatic updates so the bad build does not reinstall
- Open the Play Store app, search for Antigravity, tap the app page menu and turn off Enable auto update.
- Or globally in Play Store, open your profile photo and Settings and Network preferences and Auto update apps and select Do not auto update apps.

Step 3 Uninstall the current crashing build
- Android device UI
– Open Settings and Apps and Antigravity and Uninstall. Confirm.
- With adb
“`
adb devices
adb shell pm uninstall com.google.antigravity
“`
If you must attempt to keep local data for a later reinstall on the same signature, you can try:
“`
adb shell pm uninstall -k com.google.antigravity
“`
Keeping data is not guaranteed to be accepted by older builds. Prefer a clean reinstall unless you know the data format is compatible.
Step 4 Obtain the December 2025 installer from an official source
- If your organization uses Managed Google Play, ask your admin to assign the December 2025 production track to your device.
- If you have an official archive link or support provided APK for December 2025, download that file. Verify it is signed by the same publisher certificate as your previous install using apksigner if available:
“`
apksigner verify –verbose –print-certs antigravity_2025_12.apk
“`
- Avoid untrusted mirrors. Only install packages signed by the official publisher.

Step 5 Install the December 2025 build
- On device
1. Allow installs from your browser or file manager: Settings and Apps and Special app access and Install unknown apps and enable for your installer app.
2. Open the downloaded antigravity_2025_12.apk and tap Install.
- With adb
“`
adb devices
adb install antigravity_2025_12.apk
“`
If you previously tried to downgrade in place and it failed, perform a clean uninstall, then install again.

Step 6 Re enable only after a confirmed patch
- Keep auto updates off until a release note confirms the crash regression is fixed.
- After the official patch lands, update manually and verify stability before re enabling automatic updates.

Alternative Fixes and Workarounds
Opt out of any beta or early access channel
- Open the Play Store Antigravity page and leave the beta program if shown. This can put you back on a stable track if the beta caused the issue.
Use an enterprise assigned stable track
- Ask your IT admin to pin Antigravity to a known good version via Managed Google Play until the vendor patch is verified.
Clear cache after rollback if you still see crashes
- Settings and Apps and Antigravity and Storage and Clear cache. Avoid clearing data unless necessary to preserve history.
Wait for the vendor hotfix
- If you cannot source the December 2025 build safely, pause usage and wait for the official patch, with auto updates disabled to prevent reinstallation loops.
Troubleshooting Tips
- App not installed or signature mismatch
– The APK must be signed with the same certificate as your previous install. Uninstall the current app first, then install the December 2025 APK signed by the publisher.
- Downgrade not allowed
– In place downgrade often fails on production signed apps. Uninstall, then install the older build as a fresh install.
- Stuck on latest version after reinstall
– Confirm Play Store per app auto update is off and that you did not re enroll in beta. Reopen Play Store, search for Antigravity, and ensure the update button does not trigger an immediate upgrade.
- Missing history after reinstall
– Sign back into the same account and allow sync time. If you exported history earlier, re import it from Settings and Chats and Import if the feature is available. Otherwise, restore files you backed up with adb pull to the same folder paths and reopen the app.
- Verify the installed version
– Open Antigravity and Settings and About. Confirm the version shows the December 2025 build before resuming production use.

Best Practices
- Delay auto updates for critical apps until you verify stability on a test device.
- Maintain periodic exports or backups of conversation history so an emergency reinstall does not risk data loss.
- Keep Android Platform Tools ready on a workstation to perform a clean reinstall when needed.
- Track vendor release notes and community reports to detect regressions early.
- For teams, pin known good versions with Managed Google Play and stage rollouts.
Final Thought
Rolling back to the December 2025 build is the fastest way to restore stability. Keep auto updates disabled and monitor for the official fix, and your agents and conversations should be usable again within minutes.
