Well, this appears to be some bug introduced with the latest release, MIT will need to investigate, if it is the case.
Just to check it is not only being caused by the keyboard appearing, if so, this is usually caused by using height percentages in your arrangements...
height percentage is in fill parent, u can check here

I don't know.
Maybe you can workaround with something like this:
shrink.aia (148.0 KB)
@Durgesh You can't fix it at your end, the issue is causes after sdk 36 update. You need to wait, they will fix it asap.

@jis
Opening the keyboard should not turn Fixed mode into effectively Responsive mode.

Original community issue:
Hello! I’m having a problem with the interface of my App Inventor projects.
A few days ago, my app looked exactly the same both in MIT AI2 Companion and in the exported APK.
However, starting today, when I export my app, the entire interface appears reduced/scaled down compared to how it looks in Companion.
What makes it even stranger is that when I open the keyboard, the interface becomes even smaller.
This happens when exporting different projects, so I don’t think it is related to a speci…
I would appreciate it if someone from the App Inventor team could verify this interaction between the new SDK 36 WindowInsets handling and the existing onGlobalLayout() scaling workaround.
In my opinion, the safest design for Android 15+ is:
WindowInsets/IME should change the available form dimensions, but should not change the Fixed-mode compatibility scaling factor.
thankyou for conformation
