Yeah it's doable with hard work and manual editing

First you need to remove all components which is not available in App Inventor.

It is a hard process, but in a nutshell, it would be like something like this:

  • Find extensions that are replicating Kodular components.

  • Copy your project in Kodular.

  • Use the extensions to replace Kodular components and blocks. Hard process.

  • Export your AIA file and import it into App Inventor.

  • If you see errors, download the AIA file again, turn it into a ZIP file, unzip it, go to src > appinventor > (your username) > (your project name) > (your screen name).bky and open the file.

  • That file tells App Inventor the blocks of your project. Fix the parts that have errors.

  • Zip the whole thing, turn it back to an AIA file, and import it into App Inventor.

Fixing AIA files via Screen.bky is a hard process. You have to read every line, and find what blocks cause errors.

Sometimes, you have to build your project from scratch because of errors.

No need to turn into zip, simply open archive or extract to a folder if needed. Aia is a zip file
