plugin incompatible with the new build found .ignore

Issue

I get an update on Android Studio Version 3.3 but there is a message saying :

plugin incompatible with the new build found .ignore.

what should I do? if I update whether the .ignore plugin really doesn't work?

Solution

I suspect the exact error message is:

Plugin Error
Problems found loading plugins:
The following plugins are incompatible with the current IDE build: .ignore

That was reported in hsz/idea-gitignore issue 408 and then issue 491

Android Studio 3.3 includes Intellij 2018.2.2

Make sure that plugin is updated to its latest version first (3.0.0).
If not working, try and downgrade to 2.6.x, to test if a past version is compatible.
