To add to the answer, here are some commands to quickly rollback on Macs. This was borrowed and tweaked from a helpful post in the bug tracker

cd $ANDROID_HOME && rm -rf platform-tools/ && curl https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools_r26.0.2-darwin.zip -o platform-tools_r26.0.2-darwin.zip && unzip platform-tools_r26.0.2-darwin.zip
