Where are the file templates in Android Studio 4.1 located?

I have trouble importing my custom file templates into Android Studio 4.1 Canary 5. In prior versions of Android Studio (up to 4.0) I used to copy my templates into

<Android Studio Installation>/Contents/plugins/android/lib/templates (I am using Mac)

But in 4.1, there are no templates there and when I copy mine there, they seem to be ignored.

Has anyone faced the same issue?

Thank you!

IDE configuration directory changes The locations of user configuration directories have been changed to the following:

Example: C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Google\AndroidStudio4.1

macOS Syntax: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/

Example: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/AndroidStudio4.1

Linux Syntax: ~/.config/Google/

Android Studio 4.1 uses a new templating API which is visible but not public yet - you can see a sample here, although I haven't been able to get this to work. Unfortunately in the process, Google seem to have removed the old way of adding templates.

For those interested in tracking progress, you can star the issue on Google's issue tracker system here.
