Problem with companion 2.63

Frank-HRO · June 15, 2022, 2:02pm

After installing Companion 2.63 on the smartphone with Android 12, some extensions give me error messages when connecting via USB.

The error is reproducible.
After installing the extension SAF (Extension Version: 1.2, Date Built:2022-06-01) and dragging it into screen1, the following message appears:

Error from Companion: java.lang.RuntimeException: invalid syntax in eval form: :12:1: caught exception in inliner for # - java.lang.RuntimeException: no such class: com.sunny.saf.SAF

Attached is a test aia.

Test123.aia (31.1 KB)

Is this error known or is it due to an incompatibility with the extension?

This is a known bug with the latest release. It is not the extension itself.

Try closing down and restarting everything...

Frank-HRO · June 15, 2022, 2:29pm

I reinstalled the companion app and logged out of inventor and back in. Unfortunately without success. The error message persists.

But there seems to be a problem only with some extensions.
An app with the extensions TaifunMath and TableView runs without problems in the companion.

What else can I do?

Try a different browser, e.g Firefox

I tested your aia, it opens up in companion without error for me, not that it helps you.

Frank-HRO · June 15, 2022, 2:37pm

I tested Firefox (version 101.0.1) and MS edge.

Unfortunately the same behavior in both browsers.

Remove the AppInventor companion folder from the ASD and try again.

Frank-HRO · June 16, 2022, 2:39pm

@Anke
Deleting the folder didn't improve anything. The error persists with a USB connection.

The AI Companion connection works, but the individual screens are built up in slow motion.

Yes, and this happens with every extension (if using USB connection).
