Is AAR feature fully supported in latest Kodular Creator update?

Extensions Extension Development

Continuing the discussion from Kodular Creator 2025.8:

@Diego During my test on App inventor test server, I found that assets from libraries are not added into the build apk. Does kodular platform fully support aar attachment into extension including assets and resources from aar libraries. Thanks

Following the merging of this pull request, it won’t merge assets, JNI/native (.so) libraries and elements from AndroidManifest.xml.

That’s why I raised and highlighted this issue here—so that the Kodular team, this time, can go a step beyond the App Inventor team and implement these features into their platform, especially since it’s a commercial project, unlike App Inventor.

If the Kodular team would consider modifying the AAR attachment feature for extensions to merge at least assets and JNI libraries, it would be greatly appreciated.

This is not easy to handle though, because two different extensions can include the same library and resources which can cause conflict when building the APK.

However, we have merged the PR from MIT App Inventor.

Yeah, you’re totally right. But I believe you could catch any issues before adding each AAR.

Like:

  1. We need to make a list of already attached AAR’s package names.
  2. Read the package name from the AndroidManifest.xml and see if it’s already there. If not, attach it and save the package name to the list.

I believe, in this way we would be able to resolve conflicts before attaching each AAR from extensions.

MIT merged it, hopefully we’ll see it in Kodular super soon.

This will be included in next release, sorry I missed it. I’ll add it to the tracker and get it merged later today.

Nice to hear that. However, the pull request linked below is also relevant to the recently merged pull request. Perhaps both could be implemented together.
