How can I operate to get a .yail file in the .aia file? Currently, there is no such file inside.
why you need a yail file?
Because I need this document to unravel the entire logic of the code.
This is very important to me.
import the aia file, you will have /see the code with blocks.
it seems that the newly generated aias do not have this yail file, that only exist in 'old' aia files.
What does it mean?
Can't find the .yail file now?
there is no such file any more.
Oh no, what should I do if I want to apply for software copyright then?
use the scm and bly file? they can be opened by text editor.
However, they merely describe the layout settings and do not reflect the logic between the codes.
The bky files hold the blocks, which are compiled to yail.
Can you not copyright a compilable source code?
YAIL files are generated for being sent to the build server only and don't get exported in project files for users.
If you really need them, you can get YAIL files if you run a local build of App Inventor, log into it as an administrator, and use the "Generate YAIL" option in the build menu to have the YAIL added.
How do I access the local version? It seems I don't have a download option.
You'd have to build one.
If you private message me the email you use for App Inventor and the project ID I should be able to pull it from the database for you.
