And to be clear, it does build. It just doesn't launch.

@cadeyrn Temporary fix: set HomeActivity as specified activity in launch options (run/debug config).

I had filed https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/153413510 for this on the google issue tracker, but it was closed for a duplicate that is not publicly visible. :\

Since the google issue is not public and therefore the status is not known but there is an easy workaround maybe it's enough to add a short notice to the build instructions in the README to close this issue? What do you think?

The issue is already fixed in newer versions of Android Studio. It might be in 4.1 already.
