I don't know, but somehow you have to beg for all this AppInventor stuff. Nothing works without praying 150 times. It's annoying, what rubbish, it makes you lose interest in learning. The emulator basically doesn't work. When I read the help page, I feel like I have to test 100 things. What are the developers actually there for?
What exactly is your issue?
