I created an app using kodular, but kodular can't create aab file (sdk 33), how to create aab using mit inventor to update app (created by kodular) on Google Play?

Kodular has many components that they aren't available in App Inventor, but if you delete anything that its not available in App Inventor you can save the aia and import it into App Inventor, it may work

Converting a (only slightly more complex) Kodular app so that it can be imported into AI2 is practically impossible.

  • So create the app from scratch.
  • Look for extensions that can replace the missing components in AI2 compared to Kodular.
  • Import your keystore from Kodular (after you have PREVIOUSLY BACKED up the AI2 keystore.
  • Create the AAB / APK and now comes the hardest part: you have to
  • change the packageName in your new AI2 app to that of Kodular. Otherwise you will not be able to update your app in the Play Store. In this respect, I would recommend
  • using AI2Offline or Niotron, as you can adjust the package name there yourself (in the Designer).

Relying on just one builder is a risk, as has been shown often enough (AppBuilder, Appzard,...). Which builder has the least chance of disappearing from the market? Probably the one that has been around the longest and has not only a few private players behind it.

You are right, but this is the main problem in AI2, to change the packageName is impossible. They should add it to builder.

It is possible:

Yes, but to do that for each of every updating and for each every app is horrible

It's only daunting the first time.
