#46

There may be two reasons:

  1. The path has spaces
  2. You ran the wrong command; run ant extensions instead.
#48

Actually I am trying to follow this step

Step 5: Testing if it works

Go to your appinventor-sources folder and open the appinventor folder
Right click in the folder and select “Git Bash Here”
Type “ant” and click on enter
If says: “BUILD SUCCESSFUL”, then you can go to Step 6
If says: “BUILD FAILED”, then you did something wrong or missed a step

Ok, follow this updated guide https://docs.makeroid.io/extensions/creating-extensions

You can try to extract the JAR inside the AAR, but it isn’t guaranteed that it will work

I’m gonna try making an extension with no skills and some of googles help and see where I get my 1,00 errors worth of time :joy:, I’m unzipping appinventor-sources now.

Edit: I have successfully built my extension however added no blocks or properties, I wanted to test to see if it worked and now I’m on my way.
