With the lastet version of appinventor-sources, extensions don’t show the help link “More Information”, even if there is a correct URL.

info.helpUrl = info.description.replaceAll(TYPE_PLACEHOLDER, name);
After deleting this line, “More Information” appears again and works as expected.
Moved to #open-source-development

Did you fix it in the latest version? Can I download it without recreating the problem?
Yes, it has been fixed with this commit:
