Answer 1

To anybody else who has recently encountered this. If android studio is not able to create or rename files while attempted an update, find where the SDK directory is on your computer. After locating the SDK directory change the read/write permissions for all users. Right click--> get info, and change the privilege to "Read & Write" for all users. Next click the settings icon in the lower left hand corner and click "Apply to all enclosed". After that, you should be able to update any files in Android Studio! (FOR MAC USERS)

I have solved this problem by copying the AndroidStudio.app and paste it in your Applications folder then run your AndroidStudio. :)

Answer 3

Fixed it,

Move your android studio installer file to the Applications folder then when it opens choose to install the sdk on default location not in the downloads map (which I did)
