Please Stay Tuned? No. Please Stop Lying. Google Locked Our Code and Called It ‘Temporary’ 🤬

I’ve been waiting for Android Studio Cloud for two goddamn months. Two months of refreshing, waiting, hoping — and every time I raise an issue, all I ever get is the same garbage reply: “Please stay tuned” or “Please try again later.” That’s not an update. That’s a slap in the face.

Let’s call this what it really is: incompetence and disrespect. “Temporary interruption”? Stop insulting our intelligence. Temporary doesn’t mean locking devs out of their own work for months. Temporary doesn’t mean radio silence while projects rot away. Temporary doesn’t mean killing a platform and hiding behind lazy PR lines. If you’re shutting it down, then say it. Stop wasting our time with this clown show.

And the most humiliating part? This is Google we’re talking about. A trillion-dollar giant acting like some half-baked startup that ghosted its own users. Meanwhile, GitHub Codespaces runs circles around you — stable, honest, dependable. If they can do it, what excuse do you have? Nothing but arrogance and laziness.

You’ve locked away developers’ blood and sweat like it’s nothing. You’ve trashed months of work, treating devs as disposable. And then you have the audacity to tell us to “stay tuned”? Pathetic. Shameful. An utter disgrace for a company of your size.

Nobody will ever trust Google again after this. You’ve proven that you don’t give a damn about the community that actually builds on your tools. All you had to do was give us access to back up our projects before pulling the plug. That’s it. Basic human decency. But you couldn’t even do that.

So congrats, Google. You’ve turned Android Studio Cloud into not just a failure, but a humiliation. A warning sign to every developer out there: don’t ever rely on Google, because one day, without notice, they’ll pull the rug from under you — and then mock you with a “please try again later.”
And if your next move is to throw another “please wait” at us, then don’t bother — just admit it’s dead, at least that would be less insulting. I’ve already burned sleepless nights building and now wasting more just to scream into the void as a university developer who trusted you. And honestly? It feels like Google doesn’t just kill projects — it kills trust, spits on the people who believed in it, and walks away like nothing ever happened. Shame on you.

So sorry. I thought you had already gotten access back. All users who filed a support ticket should have gotten their access restored quickly. Please email me at kirupa.at.google.com with:

  1. the email ID you use to access Firebase Studio
  2. your workspace name/ID

I can get you unblocked on Monday.

Cheers,
Kirupa

Kirupa — thanks for the response. I’ve just emailed you (minhmeocute11102012@gmail.com) with my workspace ID (docker-11303131). You mentioned you could help unblock me on Monday — please confirm once access is restored. I’ve been locked out for over two months and this is impacting university work, so a quick confirmation would be appreciated.

Just emailed you back.

Thanks for your previous response and confirmation that my access issue would be resolved. However, I still cannot access my workspace. Here is the photo

Can you help me pleasee =) @kirupa

Try again. It should hopefully work now :stuck_out_tongue:
