Where Android Studio keeps its logs
Android Studio logs to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\AndroidStudio<version>\log\idea.log on Windows.
Android Studio logs to ~/Library/Logs/Google/AndroidStudio<version>/idea.log on macOS.
Paths are printed exactly as Android Studio writes them. Environment variables like %LOCALAPPDATA% and $XDG_STATE_HOME are never expanded, so a path can be pasted straight into a shell. Where a path differs between installer types or shipping flavours, each one is racked as its own card below - why that happens.
