Where is your problem? The bgImage.jpg is copied from the assets to the ASD and then adjusted to the needed dimensions. That's all.
(Because you cannot write to the assets - assets are read only).
what is that on top if > 29??
This is only needed for Companion (for testing purposes).
As soon as @Taifun has adjusted his extension (TaifunFile) accordingly, this is no longer needed:
aha..ok I was just searching where to find block GetApiLevel

where I find GetMetrics1?
Ok, since you're new to the community, here is the aia:

read the documentation of the Scale method from the image extension App Inventor Extensions: Image | Pura Vida Apps
there are also other methods available...
Scale a jpg image file in the ASD - application specific directory.
The parameter scalingLogic expects the value FIT or CROP. CROP keeps the aspect ratio, resulting either in the width or the height of the source image being cropped.

I want to keep ratio but not to crop
How to do?
try an image component
set width to fill parent and height to automatic...

PS: please try something yourself, see also https://puravidaapps.com/learn.php
