Introduction: SJ Basak | iOS Developer (GSoC'26)

I’m SJ Basak, an application developer with experience building iOS applications.

I recently came across last year’s contributions to MIT App Inventor, and after reading this year’s announcement, I’m really interested in participating in the upcoming cohort. I’ve started going through the community guidelines and contribution documentation to understand the expectations and workflow.

I’ve just cloned the repository and begun exploring the codebase to get familiar with it. I was wondering if you could share some guidance on where a new contributor should ideally get started—such as beginner-friendly issues, recommended areas of the codebase, or any initial setup tips.

Thank you.
