Description:
Since the last Google AI Studio update, I have encountered a persistent and recurring issue where the development environment (preview iframe) in AI Studio Build becomes out of sync with the actual project source code. This happens across multiple projects.
The Issue: Code changes are correctly saved and deployed, but the internal preview window inside the Build interface consistently displays a stale version.
Crucial Observations:
-
Direct Link Works: If I open the preview URL in a new browser tab, the application reflects the latest changes perfectly.
-
Duplication Workaround: Duplicating the project and opening the clone temporarily fixes the preview, but the original project remains stuck.
-
Build UI Failure: Only the embedded preview iframe within the Build/Chat interface remains outdated, even after code modifications.
Environment Context:
-
Browser: Google Chrome (Latest version).
-
Timeline: Started immediately following the most recent Studio update.
Steps Taken (No Success):
-
Clearing
localStorageandsessionStorage. -
Performing Hard Refreshes (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + R).
-
Restarting the browser session.
Requested Action: Please investigate why the embedded preview iframe fails to refresh its content while the standalone URL and cloned projects function correctly. This suggests a session-locking or caching issue specific to the iframe integration within the Build UI.
