I lost my abmob ID extensions (for Jewel admob extension). While the Niotron IDE no more active, I can not rebuild them there. can I build these using Fast?

Developing extensions with FAST-CLI is definitely easier than with Niotron IDE. If you're on Android, you can even compile your extension project from Termux or GitHub Action Workflow.

ok, it built one project. But it did not asked for any code.

Go to the $PROJECT_DIR/src folder to code and edit the Android manifest.

Hi @JEWEL

I understand I can migrate old RUSH projects into FAST.

Will the newly compiled FAST aix be upgradeable in an existing project with the RUSH extension, or will it be seen as a separate extension, requiring reworking of blocks etc. ?
