Antigravity on Macbook M1 is stuck on one moment; the agent is loading. Tried reinstalling, logout and then login again, nothing works.
Hello @kevin_shah,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We truly appreciate you flagging this issue, we have filed a bug internally. To help us with prioritization of this issue, please share more details, images etc.
The Issue
The agent cannot fully initialize because the Remote SSH extension is throwing errors, which breaks the extension host communication needed by the agent.
Solutions to Try
Option 1: Try opening a local folder instead of remote SSH
Close the remote connection and open a local folder to see if the agent works locally. This will help determine if it’s specifically a remote SSH issue.
Option 2: Reload the window
Press Ctrl+Shift+P → Type “Reload Window” → Press Enter
Option 3: Disable extensions temporarily and restart
Press Ctrl+Shift+P → “Disable All Extensions” → Restart Antigravity
Option 4: Check if there’s an Antigravity update
The main log shows it checked for updates. The error suggests there may be a version mismatch. Check:
-
Help → About to see current version
-
Help → Check for Updates
Quick test: Can you try clicking “Open Agent Manager” (top right of your window) to see if there’s additional options or status information?
I used the MAC. I solved the problem by clearing the Antigravity cache & state. You can run the following commands:
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Antigravity
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/Antigravity
rm -rf ~/Library/Logs/Antigravity

I also use a Mac.
I only used the first command. This fixed the problem for me.
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Antigravity
Thanks
@changqi_sun A very big thanks, i tried what you said but a windows version of the commands and it worked!:
DISCLAIMER:
This guide is designed for users who are experiencing issues with the Antigravity app where the interface is stuck on a loading screen or the chat feature fails to initialize.
On Windows, these issues are often caused by corrupted local cache or configuration files. Clearing these “Application Support” folders forces the app to regenerate clean files upon the next launch.
Guide: Fix Antigravity Stuck on Loading (Windows)
If Antigravity is stuck on a loading spinner or your chat history isn’t appearing, follow these steps to reset the application data.
1. Close Antigravity Completely
Before running the fix, ensure the app is fully closed.
-
Check your System Tray (bottom right corner near the clock) and right-click to Quit Antigravity.
-
Alternatively, press
Ctrl + Shift + Escto open Task Manager and end any “Antigravity” processes.
2. Run the PowerShell Cleanup Script
We will use Windows PowerShell to target the hidden folders where Antigravity stores its temporary data (equivalent to the Library folders on macOS).
-
Click the Start button and type PowerShell.
-
Right-click Windows PowerShell and select Run as Administrator.
-
Copy and paste the following block of code exactly as shown:
PowerShell
# Define the Antigravity data paths
$paths = "$env:AppData\Antigravity",
"$env:LocalAppData\Antigravity"
# Loop through and remove existing folders
foreach ($path in $paths) {
if (Test-Path $path) {
Remove-Item -Path $path -Recurse -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
Write-Host "Successfully cleared: $path" -ForegroundColor Green
} else {
Write-Host "Folder already empty or not found: $path" -ForegroundColor Yellow
}
}
Write-Host "Cleanup complete. Please restart Antigravity." -ForegroundColor Cyan
- Press Enter.
3. What This Script Does
-
$env:AppData\Antigravity: This clears your local settings and session data. -
$env:LocalAppData\Antigravity: This removes cached files and logs that often cause the “infinite loading” bug. -
-Recurse -Force: This ensures all hidden sub-files are deleted without asking for permission for every single file.
4. Restart and Verify
Once you see the “Cleanup complete” message:
-
Launch Antigravity again.
-
You may be asked to log in again.
-
Wait a moment for the initial sync; the loading screen should now progress to the chat interface.
Troubleshooting
If the script says “Access Denied,” it means the app is still running in the background. Close it via Task Manager and try running the PowerShell script again.
Note: Clearing these folders will not delete your account or your saved data on the Antigravity servers; it only resets the local copy on your computer to fix software glitches.
I found a solution! I encountered this problem while developing with WSL, so I used the following commands in Windows:
wsl --shutdown
wsl
to restart WSL, and it solved the problem immediately. I hope this helps you!
Hey everyone,
I ran into a frustrating issue today with the new Google Antigravity IDE. The app would load the editor fine, but the AI Agent panel was stuck in an infinite loop saying: “One moment, the agent is currently loading Antigravity…”
I found very little online, but after some troubleshooting (and realizing the app worked perfectly on a fresh user account on the same machine), I figured out the cause and the fix.
The Problem
The issue isn’t the app installation itself. It is caused by corrupted local configuration files or “Saved Application State” in your specific user profile.
Essentially, macOS (or your OS) “remembers” that the agent was trying to load the last time you quit. When you reopen the app, it restores that broken “loading” state instead of initializing a fresh connection, creating an infinite zombie loop.
The Solution (Terminal Commands)
You need to “factory reset” your user preferences for the app. This will not delete your code projects, but it will reset your editor settings/theme.
For macOS Users: Open Terminal and run this block of commands to wipe the corrupted state files:
Bash
# 1. Kill the app if it's running
pkill antigravity
# 2. Clear the main config and cache
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Antigravity
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Antigravity
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.google.antigravity
# 3. Clear the "Saved State" (The most likely culprit)
rm -rf ~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.google.antigravity.savedState
# 4. Clear hidden local configs
rm -rf ~/.gemini
rm -rf ~/.config/antigravity
For Windows Users: Open PowerShell and delete the corresponding AppData folders:
-
Stop-Process -Name "Antigravity" -Force -
Navigate to
%APPDATA%and delete theGoogle\Antigravityfolder. -
Delete any
Antigravityfolders in%LOCALAPPDATA%.
Why this works
Creating a new user account worked because it generated fresh config files. The commands above replicate that “fresh start” on your existing account by removing the “zombie” files that were causing the handshake with the AI agent to fail.
Hope this saves someone else the headache!
