Hi @JEWEL , I have questions about premium version AAR support feature.

  1. Will it fully support AAR like adding resources of AAR and XML files ect. not just extracting the jar.
  2. Will app inventor or kodular be able to build those apps containing those extension?

Yes, once this PR merged, it'll add resources, xml, assets etc. Niotron & AndroidBuilder already implemented this feature.

Currently, AI2 & Kodular will be able to build the project, but they will not include the AARs.

Hello Jewel,

I’ve started converting your wiki into a website, and I hope to have your support throughout the process. My goal is to make everything simpler, cleaner, and more accessible for everyone.

If there’s anything that needs to be updated or corrected, feel free to let me know β€” I’ll make the necessary changes. Everyone’s feedback is welcome and will help make the site even better.

I’d love for everyone to take a look and share their thoughts:

Today I read the terms of fast on github where commercial use was written as only with approval. What is commercial use of fast? For selling extensions made using it. Is fast reserving any rights of user's extension.

There is no need for a separate topic. Merged it here.

Thanks

This means you require explicit permission to deploy the FAST-CLI as a program.

No.

No.
