Would any Linux or macOS user be willing to test this update? A clean install would be ideal for testing purposes.

You previously reported a similar issue, which seems to be a permissions problem preventing Fast from relocating the JSON file.
how to fix this error ?
It might be necessary to grant full read-write access to that directory. However, I have not previously encountered this type of permission problem on Windows.
An update is available v3.0.0
Date built: 16.04.25.21.56
- Added Gradle as default resolver to fetch transitive dependencies. (issue fixed)
- Added support for attaching AAR libraries.
- Added support for using bundled JDK/JRE (version 8).
- The default
icon.pnghave been changed. (Designed by @The_K_Studio) - A few changes in sources compiler. (issue fixed)

The version 3 is a premium release. It requires a .license file to access its premium features. Please contact me privately to obtain a license key. I'll charge $10 for a single license (One time payment). You might consider it as a support to this project.
Version 2 will remain perpetually free of charge, with ongoing maintenance encompassing bug fixes.

I do not think it's good to charge for extension building software, these features should be free and available to everyone to promote more porting of technologies into App Inventor. Plus there's always equivalent extension builder directly from MIT. But it's your call at the end, since building this project also takes time and effort.

Nice update.
As far as version 2 is free I don't mind to use fast.

I think the fee encourages Jewel to continue working on Fast and introducing new features. Free projects burn out quickly like Rush did.
Additionally, we have version 2.xx which is also fully functional.

Please consider using JDK 8 or 11+. It appears you may be using JDK 24. This suggests you might have multiple JDK installations on your computer. Could you please check your system environment variables?
Somehow, javac triggered by JDK24 and got JRE8 as JAVA_HOME.
Still you're using JRE instead of JDK. If you need additional help, please send me a private message. I may help you via Anydesk.
Download this JDK8 and configure environment with it.
1st.
2nd.
3rd.
i dont know why too much sdk here.
i use android studio, intellije idea, vs code, etc.
Set up JDK8 system-wide, and use application-specific JDKs for everything else.
which one can you guide me, how to add this?
and which one delete?

Slight confusion question.
If I want to remain on the "free" version (v2), but want to update to the latest, will this be OK, or will the fast update take me to v3 and beyond and require licence payment?
Non-premium users can continue to access basic features without any license. Only premium features require a license file for activation.

Is the 3.1.0 version supposed to work without a .license file? I just installed it and it worked fine without one.

Standard functionality remains accessible; however, a license key is required to utilize premium features.
