Https://appinventor.mit.edu/ Unable to access

Bugs and Other Issues

Why can't I access the App Inventor site? It's open now. Is it because there was an update? Class was difficult because the site was not accessible for a long time. Please notify us in advance

Strange, it works for me here...

There was a hypervisor failure, difficult to advise in advance ! (Clairvoyant needed....)

I see. Thank you. Is there any way to do this in the future if this error occurs again and the site cannot be opened?

  • wait, server issues are usually fixed within a few hours if not minutes/ The server is not monitored 24/7 by MIT.
  • use the alternative server at MIT App Inventor which is on a different system. Rarely do both the main and alternative servers go down simultaneously.
  • download a third party stand alone clone of App Inventor. This option is NOT provided by MIT.
  • do a coding exercise using pencil and paper to plan the code you will add when the server is available.

Thank you for the detailed answer. You said to use an alternate server in case of a problem with the primary server. How can I use the alternate server?

Switching to another server also requires having a current .aia export file to load onto the other server.

That's good practice anyway.
