Why won't my custom IntelliJ plugin showing up in Android Studio nor PyCharm?

Question

I created an IntelliJ plugin and it shows up fine in IDEA, RubyMine, Rider, etc. But not Android studio nor in Pycharm. I have no idea why.

In Android Studio, when I search for the plugin by full plugin name, or plugin developer name the plugin simply does not come up.

However, in https://plugins.jetbrains.com/ it shows that it is indeed compatible with Android Studio.

Here is my plugin.xml file

<idea-plugin>
    <id>...</id>
    <name>...</name>
    <version>...</version>
    <vendor email="..." url="...">...</vendor>

    <description>...</description>

    <!-- please see http://www.jetbrains.org/intellij/sdk/docs/basics/getting_started/plugin_compatibility.html
         on how to target different products -->
    <depends>com.intellij.modules.all</depends>
    <depends>com.intellij.modules.platform</depends>
    <depends>com.intellij.modules.lang</depends>
    <depends>org.jetbrains.plugins.github</depends>

    <extensions defaultExtensionNs="com.intellij">
        <toolWindow id="Gists" anchor="right" factoryClass="..." conditionClass="..."/>
    </extensions>

    <actions>
        <action id=...>
            <keyboard-shortcut first-keystroke="control shift J" keymap="$default"/>

            <add-to-group group-id="EditorPopupMenu" anchor="last"/>
            <add-to-group group-id="ProjectViewPopupMenu" anchor="last"/>
        </action>
    </actions>
</idea-plugin>

I thought that it would be enough to simply provide the right options in the depends properties, which I think i am doing correctly. Unless I'm missing something.

Any ideas?

You can check list of unsupported products with reasons why product is unsupported on update page (click on version in Versions tab). Module com.intellij.modules.all is supported only in following IDEs:

• Android Studio
• IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate
• IntelliJ IDEA Community
• IntelliJ IDEA Educational
• MPS

You can check which IDEs support which modules on this page https://plugins.jetbrains.com/admin/manage-dependencies.

As for Android Studio - please check that it's build number corresponds to your plugin's since-until: for example, Android Studio 4.0 Canary 7 has build number 193.5233.102.40.6085562 - you can check in About menu.
