(added to FAQ)

Can MIT’s Companion.apk or Emulator.apk distribution be used directly with this setup, or does the .apk need to be post-processed first with ARChon tools?

is that App Inventor companion apk?
and i get error saying "Launch the aiStarter program on your computer and then try again." when i click usb under connect

MIT’s Emulator.apk need aiStarter.

AI2Companion258en.zip apk Built-in 127.0.0.1:8004, without aiStarter.
