Tried both - same issue

but what is the issue? building forever? or are you asked to update AGP?

This project is using an incompatible version of the Android Gradle plugin. To continue importing this project (Jetchat), Android Studio will upgrade the project's build files to use version 4.2.0-alpha09 of Android Gradle plugin (you can learn more about this version of the plugin from the release notes).

Begin Upgrade

The following commands will be executed to upgrade your project from Android Gradle Plugin version 4.2.0-alpha08 to version 4.2.0-alpha09

 

Upgrade AGP dependency from 4.2.0-alpha08 to 4.2.0-alpha09

Upgrade repeat - infinite loop

yeah you can just cancel it, AS is never going to be able to upgrade it

good stuff - thanks

do i need to rollback to AS4.2 Canary8!?
