Hello i created an app which was a copy of an old one with different new data but when i try to build the apk app , i have an error message. With the compiler the app is working. Any idea?
What about letting us know, which error message? Also post the complete log
My guess is you are talking about the companion app?
Are you using extensions? Which ones? How many screens does your app have?

Hello ! It's a simple app with two screens. At the photos you can see how it works. You prees buttons from a list and you can see text and photos.
i am confused because it is copy of a previous app. I just changed words inside boxes
This is how the new app looks like usong companion app
Check that your app icon meets the requirements in Project Properties ?

I think something happens with the MIT appinventor application. Maybe an update? I don't know. I have made several applications before two years and for most of them is not able to build their apk any more.... Is there somehow anyway to contact with someone from ai2.appinventor.mit.edu?
your app icon file is invalid, try using a 512x512 png file
I can't see the full log.
I am very sad.... Applications that were made three years ago with a lot of effort and passion are useless.... While they work in the companion, they cannot be exported to an apk.... too bad.... I will take a break because I am irritated.... Thank you for the effort you took to answer...
Try this test aia project, does it compile and create an apk ? If so, it shows there is an issue within your old projects which is not compatible with the current release of Appinventor

So far, from your error logs, you have shown us that it is possibly your app icons that might be causing the problem. In Project Properties, it tells about the requirements for an app icon. The easiest way to test is to remove your app icon and just use the default AI2 icon. If you want to try your own app icon then try both a jpg or a png file with strict dimensions of 512x512 pixels. It must be a square image.
If this doesn't fix things, then you need to show us the full error associated with the build failure. You can drag and select all of the error on your computer, and copy it here.
You could also share one of your apps, that does not compile, here as an aia project for others to inspect and test.
No
The only thing to do now is to meet the icon requirements
