It seems like Android Studio easily forgets at least some non-standard code style settings when upgrade happens. This is essential for using heavy IDE (versus lightweight like VSCode) to keep environment like code style format settings which are some hard to create and move between projects manually.

Upgrade involves:

1. dependency versions chain upgrade: studio -> gradle plugin -> kotlin version
2. solving mysterious problems with desugaring D8 (add "android.enableD8.desugaring=false" to gradle.properties)

I'm not very happy when I'm unexpectedly forced to spend 3h+ on infinite chain of tasks. This repeats itself for most of the Android Studio upgrades.
