    The Android Studio version name (e.g. "2021.3.1") encodes what version of IntelliJ it was based on, as follows:

    <Year of IntelliJ Version>.<IntelliJ major version>.<Studio major version>

    As described in the "New versioning scheme - Android Studio" section of the Announcing Android Studio Arctic Fox (2020.3.1) & Android Gradle plugin 7.0 Android Developers Blog post:

    • The first two number groups represent the version of the final IntellIj platform that a particular Android Studio release is based on (earlier canaries may still be on the earlier version). For this release, this is 2020.3.
    • The third number group represents the Studio major version, starting at 1 and incrementing by one for every major release.

    So "2021.3.1", for example, encodes that this version of Android Studio is based on the "2021.3" version of the IntelliJ platform.

    The first three groups of numbers of the Android Studio build are the version of the IntelliJ Platform build that the Android Studio build is based on: 213.7172.25. The first two digits indicate the year: 2021. The third digit indicates the release number: 3. So it is based on the 2021.3 version of the IntelliJ Platform.
