Various Changes in the sync process

1. Remove the need of a python file to fetch the version, url
2. Added codename into the version (closes [Snap store page] Please tell us the animal names #110 )

I wonder, android studio has an internal update checker. Is there any way to find out what URL that uses? Maybe we could use the same url instead of these oneliners

@merlijn-sebrechts

It's showing that the updates are managed by Snap.

[merlijn-sebrechts]

can you update your PR to get the latest update version and name from https://dl.google.com/android/studio/patches/updates.xml?

This is what the app uses when installed without snap, so this will be long-term stable. You just need to parse the XML.
should be easy to get it from this tag: <build apiVersion="AI-231.9392.1" number="AI-231.9392.1.2311.11076708" version="Hedgehog | 2023.1.1">

This url doesn't show the actual version number and the url to download. I'd still need to have a separate url to get the actual version number which is currently 2023.1.1.26

[merlijn-sebrechts]

LGTM!

Let's get this running now, and try to find a better way to get the version in the future.

@soumyaDghosh seems like there is still an issue in the process: https://github.com/snapcrafters/android-studio/actions/runs/7193616466/job/19592441198

I have been looking into it from yesterday. And what I am thinking is, the url has / in it, which is probably confusing the sed command. I can't found any answer for it other than this.

EDIT: I can confirm this now.

[soumyaDghosh]

Temporarily.. should we shift to yq?

[merlijn-sebrechts]

Sure!

I commented on #120, but sed can be used with any separator to get around this, so you can do:

sed -i 's|foo|bar' or sed -i 's#foo#bar' etc.
