I have followed every set of installation setup instructions I could find. I have read the preview documents over and over, I have followed "Help" links to dead pages. I am to the point that I don't believe MIT App Inventor will run on Macintoshes. I have tried on 3 different Mac an old 2015 iMac, a 2019 iMac and a 2023 MacBookAir. NONE OF THEM WORKS!
Is there ANYONE on planet Earth that has a Macintosh computer that can ACTUALLY RUN MIT App Inventor? I would be overjoyed to hear from you!

These people have no problem running Android emulators on MacBooks:

Once you have an Android emulator running you can download the AI2 Companion into that emulator, and do a Connect->Companion from the AI2 Project web site to test your app.
(Avoid the AIStarter if you value your sanity.)
If you have an Apple Silicon Mac, you can also just install the companion app directly through the App Store.

Hi, thanks for the reply but once again I have NO DESIRE to deal with Android. I have 2 iPads, 2 iPhones, a MacBook Air (M2) and 2 iMacs. No windows, no linux, no Android.
Thanks,

I'm confused here. I looked for the companion app for MacOSX Sonoma 14.2.1 (M2 Apple Silicon) and none of the App Store apps say they run on OSX, just iOS.
Thanks,
