Hmm. For some reasons the binaries didn't get up there. I've pushed new ones so it should be all set.

Got it.
Thanks!
Looks good.
This would be useful for people who want to reshape
their GUI for landscape or portrait orientations.

The duplicate project name checking in the Project->New Project dialog is missing from the drag and drop facility. I have three copies (by name,) of a project on the dnd server, for what it's worth, though they have different create and modify timestamps to differentiate them.
Come to think of it, this is actually less confusing for me than the checkpoint system.
Thanks for the report. I think for consistency it should enforce the same rules as the upload dialog, so I'll fix that.

I found a picture (on Twitter) about a new AR component, is there a site for testing this component?

I'm not so sure if it has a tutorial, this option is not yet publicly available ...
The only thing I found is this:

The Alexa work was done by Jess van Brummelen as part of her master’s thesis entitled Tools to Create and Democratize Conversational Artificial Intelligence. There are tutorial handouts that were used in workshops in Appendix E.
The augmented reality work was done by Nichole Clark as part of her master’s thesis entitled Through the Screen and into the World: Augmented Reality Components with MIT App Inventor. Nichole was key player in helping with the development of the iOS version of App Inventor, and her thesis work explored augmented reality through Apple’s ARKit framework. There isn’t an Android equivalent yet of the code she developed for the iOS version.
There have been a lot of interesting research projects with App Inventor over the years. If you want to learn more, I suggest skimming over the Related Research page on our website.
Caveat emptor: There are many unlisted App Inventor services out there that we develop for research purposes. They may come and go at any time, so if you plan to experiment with any of these please make systematic backups as we make no promises that they will remain available in the future.

Is there a site to test augmented reality? It looks very interesting😃

FINALLY! I’ve been wanting to be able to copy and paste components since I discovered I couldn’t. Also, would it be possible to add a text mode? I’m tired of blocks.

Any development on absolute arrangement component. Waiting for its release.

I tried the experimental emulator on my new Windows 11 Home laptop (my old Windows 8 laptop died for good), and it works fine.
My attempts to install alternate emulators BigNox and Memuplay were thwarted by Windows 11 Home builtin guards against tampering with its virtualization and memory access features.
Well, if you are using Windows 11 why not just install the apk as a "native" Windows app? (Here's a guide to it : https://youtu.be/1yq0-Fu2j3I)
I tried it and it works really well, you can even install an app via debugging (with apps like: https://qwertycube.com/apk-editor-studio/)

Thank you for the WSATools tip.
I will definitely have to check it out.
P.S. I spent an hour trying to hunt down the prerequisites for WSATools.
They are only available to members of the Windows insider program,
and there are enough prerequisites that I found myself planning to build a dairy to get a glass of milk.
As for my new Windows 11 Home gaming laptop, I would rather not take a chance on bricking it with alpha operating system software.
