Is this still a valid solution ?

Is there a better solution 9 months later or has MIT latest version fixed this for us ?

I need to create a new apk and found this error yesterday.

Help !!

What extensions are you using in your project?

No
You are using an outdated extension... always use their latest versions...

Update all extensions
Just imort the latest version of each extension again to upgrade them

You might want to start with the notification listener extension

[biesys]

Thank you Taifun.

I must be doing something wrong because still says version from November 2020.

(direct link of the extension removed)

[biesys]

I went back to your page and realized there was a section with all upgrades. Downloaded the latest version and MIT App Portal did show the "upgrade" confirmation.

Will test and let you know.

Thanks !!

[Taifun]

did you update all extensions?

concerning DX execution failed see for example here

I have this message: DX execution failed

your error message is DX execution failed @Boban would say, "you have too much of something"... here is @SteveJG’s monster list of things to check https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mitappinventortest/fLiMEfPh09Q/1Ia0AaQEXogJ each point on the monster list might be the issue, why someone gets a DX execution failed error… that thread is a collection of several possibilities, which have been collected by @SteveJG during the years while answering questions like that… hope that helps… Taifun PS:…

Hello I am back on this project. I work several projects simultaneously in different OS so I circle back after a while. Sorry for that, as it looks like i dropped the subject.

Upgrading more extensions now.

Taifun, in your case (I use 6 of your extensions), if your page does not mentions a new version I assume it is because there is no need, am I correct ?

These are the ones I use:

1. Push Notification Listener by Taifun. Done 8/8/23 6:22 PM
2. TaifunBluetooth - dont see upgrade.
3. UrsAI2SideBar by Ulli - AI2 SideBar Extension
4. TaifunBattery - Failed.
5. TaifunWiFi
6. TaifunFile - Failed.
7. SMBManager by Jörg Hüneburg - I see no upgrade https://groups.google.com/g/mitappinventortest/c/ilbNL4dnZx0/m/lqmvJEKnAgAJ
8. DownloadToASD by BodyMindPower
9. TaifunFTP
10. BrowserPromptHelper by Sunny Gupta
11. Custom WebView by Sunny Gupta. Done 8/15/23 12:20 PM
12. DownloadHelper by Sunny Gupta

What happens if the developer is no longer available and there is no upgrade ? I assume extension must be removed from the project.

Thanks Taifun for always being there for all of us !!

This will depend on what the extension does. You will need to test the extensions that you are concerned about.

Yes

TaifunBattery - Failed

BrowserPromptHelper by Sunny Gupta

This can cause issue if you are not using latest version.

[biesys]

Upgraded yesterday:

Helper class of CustomWebView extension to add app to browsers list
Developed by Sunny Gupta
Extension Version: 1.1
Date Built: 2023-03-09

[biesys]

ai1.appinventor.mit edu says:

Import Extension failed! An extension containing com.puravidaapps.TaifunBattery already exists on the sever but could not be upgraded. The new extension was not loaded.

Same for TaifunFile.

[vknow360]

I just checked the code and it still doesn't declare exported value.
I have updated code.
com.sunny.CustomWebView.aix (202.3 KB)

Import Extension failed!

1. For the battery extension

From the documentation App Inventor Extensions: Battery Manager | Pura Vida Apps

Note: this release is not compatible with the previous version. Only use the extension for new projects.

Therefore remove the old battery extension, you will loose all blocks of the extension, import the new version and add the blocks again

2. For the file extension

Try to import the file extension manually

Image compatibility

you stil can read, but not store files everywhere anymore try the following steps export your project and store it in a save place as backup copy the downloaded aia file and open it using 7zip go to the folder assets/external_comps to manually import an extension, open the aix file using 7zip, you now have two 7zip windows open in parallel drag the main folder of the extension from the aix window into directory external_comps of the project and overwrite the existing old directory of the ex…
