I want to be able to go on certain apps like Roblox Studio but I'm on Chromebook and Roblox wouldn't allow it
How to make Windows apps playable on mit app inventor?
You probably can not play Windows apps using App Inventor.
We can't make playable downloads from windows using an mit component?
I was just curious
I asked ChatGPT for you

Short answer: You can’t directly make a Windows program (like Roblox Studio) run inside MIT App Inventor.
But I can explain why and what your real options are.
Why it doesn’t work
MIT App Inventor creates Android apps.
Roblox Studio is a Windows desktop program (.exe).
These two are completely different systems:
- Windows apps run on x86 PC processors
- MIT App Inventor apps run on Android ARM processors
- They use different libraries, APIs, and frameworks
So you cannot:
- Import an .exe into App Inventor
- Convert a Windows program into an App Inventor project
- Emulate Roblox Studio with blocks
What is possible?
Here are the realistic paths depending on what you want to do:
1. If you want to make a Roblox-related app
You can create things like:
- A Roblox info viewer
- A game browser
- A tool for saving ideas or scripts
- A friend tracker (using Roblox APIs)
→ This is possible with MIT App Inventor by using Web blocks and calling Roblox’s official API endpoints.
If you want, tell me what kind of Roblox-related app you want and I can help build the blocks.
2. If you want to run Roblox Studio on Android
This is not possible on App Inventor.
Android does NOT support:
- Windows .exe files
- Roblox Studio system requirements
- Mouse/keyboard-heavy UI
The closest you can get is remote desktop streaming, but that requires:
- A real PC running Roblox Studio
- An Android remote desktop client (like Chrome Remote Desktop)
This does not run Studio on Android — it just mirrors your PC screen.
3. If you want to create a Roblox Studio–like editor in App Inventor
You could build a simple world editor, but it would not be Roblox.
Features you could build in App Inventor:
- Add objects
- Move/rotate them
- Save project data
- Export JSON
- Maybe send data to a PC-side converter
and also completely different os structure and difference between mobile os and desktop os if want something like that then use cross platform frameworks , like react native , flutter , kotlin multiplatform (maybe not a lot of idea ) conclusion you will have to go native languages
