App inventor unable to compile this project on iOS ( Appstore build)

Camille_MAILHOT · July 21, 2026, 8:12pm

Hello everyone,

I coded a simple app to communicate between a phone and an ESP32. It works like a charm on android, but i need to export it on iOS. I followed the tutorial on how to create certificates and so on but i get this HUGE page of errors.

App Inventor is unable to compile this project.
The compiler error output was

I am very much a noob, and this is very hard to understand why it didn’t work.

Can you help me people ?

Before you can publish your app to the App Store, you must first go to appstoreconnect.apple.com and set up the app record there, using the same bundle ID you created in the developer center.

Looking at the documentation, it appears I did not capture this information so we will work on improving that.
