## About

Official IDE for Android app development with emulator, layout editor, and code analysis

## Activity summary

Partially blocked in Syria. A community report in February 2026 showed that the Android Studio website opens but plugin downloads are blocked from Syrian connections. A community volunteer emailed Google's cloud compliance team that same month asking it to review the policy and remove the restriction now that sanctions are lifted. No resolution yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-23 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed Google's cloud compliance team at google-cloud-compliance@google.com requesting that Android Studio restrictions on Syria be removed. The email informed Google that Syria is no longer subject to US or EU economic sanctions and requested a policy review to allow Syrian developers and programmers access to Android Studio services.
- 2026-02-12 — Evidence Added. User from Syria reports Android Studio website opens but plugin downloads are blocked via DSL connection, similar to other JetBrains-based IDEs.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
