No. Not using External app. (like apk editor)
How can i do that in kodular?
Can any extension support to do that?

#5

You can’t do that with the kodular blocks as the Manifest can’t be edited in the runtime, Only extensions or components can do that using Appinventor annotations , however , they can’t add everything to the manifest.If you are interested, you can know here what things they can add to the Manifest:

No, there is no Extension

There isn’t. Maybe someone can create one, but it depends where do you want to add the metadata tag? In the level of the Application tag or in an Activity tag?Maybe you can show the exact code you want?

I’ve made an extension :grin: The above test is with AI2.
But I’m not sure if it is supported with kodular ,i’ve tried to test it with kodular , but seems that the manifest is encrypted ( the tag names are very long and weird, i geuss because kodular proguards their sources ?), or the tag isn’t included :thinking:

I do not know coding.
So, it will be very hard for me to understand seeing the code.
I just need to write that code in Manifest.xml.
and i am using kodular platform so, that extension need to support in kodular. :frowning:

Extension

io.mohamed.ApplicationMetaData.aix (5.5 KB)

Source Code 
package io.mohamed.ApplicationMetaData;
import android.content.Context;
import android.util.Log;
import 
com.google.appinventor.components.annotation
s.androidmanifest.MetaDataElement;
import 
com.google.appinventor.components.annotation
s.*;
import 
com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.*;
import 
com.google.appinventor.components.common.Com
ponentCategory;

@UsesApplicationMetadata(metaDataElements = 
{@MetaDataElement(name = 
"android.webkit.WebView.EnableSafeBrowsing", 
value="true")})
@DesignerComponent(version = 1,  description 
= "This Extension adds a meta data tag to 
the manifest.<br> Created By: Mohamed 
Tamer",
        category = 
ComponentCategory.EXTENSION,
        nonVisible = true,   iconName = 
"Myicon")
@SimpleObject(external = true)
public class ApplicationMetaData extends 
AndroidNonvisibleComponent {
    private ComponentContainer container;
    
    public ApplicationMetaData
(ComponentContainer container) {
        super(container.$form());
        this.container = container;
    }
  
}
Apk

With kodular : ApplicationMetaData (5).apk (5.2 MB)
With Appinventor:
ApplicationMetaData (6).apk (3.3 MB)
If you tried to decompile both APKs you will find out the difference :grimacing:

However, as I said before, I’m not sure if kodukar supports UsesApplucationMetadata annotation :confused:

You can use App Cloner and enable safe browsing in all WebView components.
