I just wanted to know if you saw the files in local app inventor (ant extensions) build or the build log of any extension dev. ide?

First, @SRIKAR_B.S.S we are going way to pointless offtopic discussion

You can reply me if you have knowledge about its presence and its roles in compiled apk else you can wait along with me for someones reply

Structure of aix is always same, either use any ide or source

classes.jar contains .class bytecode which is used for compiling the APK

AndroidRuntime.jar contains .dex bytecode which is used to run code on companion dynamically;

9

so it means classes.dex i find in classes.jar is used in companion?

Also, It is worth mentioning the difference between bytecodes .class & .dex

No, I didn't mean that...

You can try making it from the scratch but uploading it online is a hard and costly task :sweat_smile:

but even to make it you also need to understand the structure of MIT AI2 and how it works...
