MIT App Inventor for iOS: Now on the App Store 🎉

Thanks Peter. I've set up a redirect so that people end up at the blog post instead of a 404.

Thanks for the report about the performance on the M1 Mac. We don't have one of those yet so we weren't sure whether it would behave correctly. It's good to know that it does!

A post was split to a new topic: Unable to activate constraints in iOS

Could you please not spam and ask the same in many topics?

I have a doubt, how can I create a iOS app? Is there any environment to create that? :sweat_smile:

In order to be able to create an iOS app (IPA, like APK in Android) with AI2, you have to wait (at least) until the fall semester or try Thunkable or, best of all, use Xcode & Swift.

Oh I see, Thank you @Anke

The build functionality is currently in a closed beta test and we will be rolling it out incrementally to folks. We don't have a formal procedure for people to sign up yet for the beta but that will be coming soon-ish. Our biggest challenge right now is that we don't have a ton of available hardware for building out the iOS build infrastructure so we're trying to understand the scope of the hardware needs.

This has made my day. I've been teaching students to create apps but could only engage the android device users while the ios users looked on. Now, I'lle have the whole classparticipating. Thank you MIT Teams.

Is the build server open source? Running it myself would not be an issue.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!
I've been using the emulator and some tablets for several years.
You will make my 170 students VERY VERY happy!

Sorry! i meant: if it will be possible to build apps for Apple phones with App Inventor.

Yes, that's what this has been about here for years ...
