Hi everyone! :wave:

I’m working on a project that converts MIT App Inventor (.aia) projects into Android Studio Kotlin projects.

:warning: Important: The project is very early stage and not fully functional yet. Many features from AI2 are not yet supported. But I wanted to share it with the community to get feedback, ideas, and contributions.

:hammer_and_wrench: How to Contribute

If you’re not familiar with GitHub, no worries! Here’s a simple guide:

Visit the repository link above.

Click “Fork” at the top right to create your own copy of the project.

Make your changes (fixes, features, or experiments).

Click “Pull Request” to suggest your changes to the main project.

Even if you’ve never used GitHub before, just trying out the project and giving feedback is already a huge help!

:pushpin: Goals

  • Convert AI2 .aia projects into Kotlin/Android Studio projects automatically.

  • Preserve as much UI and logic as possible.

  • Make contributions easy for people familiar with AI2 but new to Android Studio/Kotlin.

:bulb: Ideas / Feedback

  • Help me to create this project :wink:

  • Missing components support

  • Bug reports from your own .aia projects

  • Suggestions for improving UI conversion

I’m really excited to see what we can build together! If you have questions, ideas, or want to contribute, feel free to comment or open an issue on GitHub.

Thanks,
Nico
