Malicious extension?

[Vishwas (Vishwas Adiga)]

This is a bug fix update. We will be releasing a feature update soon

[kawu]

So we are unable to work on our apps until the extension devs (which may be inactive) update their extensions, which may take weeks or months, due to problems nobody is having?

@Vishwas

we no longer allow extensions to use the ReplForm .

This is only used for compatibility with Companion.So now how to get whether extension is running in companion or apk?

@Vishwas

com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.ReplForm

Same for wild card imports? I guess so.

[Lollipop (Rahul)]

Taifun Files is also not working

[Anu10 (Anu)]

@vknow360

Now waiting for someone to say unable to use com.sunny.xyz

[vknow360 (Sunny Gupta)]

I knew it!
Btw, in companion or apk?

[Anu10 (Anu)]

@vknow360

apk?

Compiled Apk

You should use form.isRepl() appinventor-sources/AppInventorCompatActivity.java at dfac595ba77b62f2982f48f41affd625f5b8fa77 · mit-cml/appinventor-sources · GitHub

That’s good,however, I would like to ask what was the issue with Repl Form? If I can ask.

[sp4ubw (Darek T)]

Do I understand correctly?
Have you done such an update that nobody can compile anything now?
Everyone will get an error like in the screenshots?

If so, why this update?
It doesn’t fix anything, it breaks everything.

[Lollipop (Rahul)]

What if extension developer refuses to make changes? Even Taifun’s File extension is not working.

No they haven’t, it’s just that to prevent malicious extensions

@Vishwas

For security reasons, we no longer allow extensions to use the ReplForm . If your extension is being tagged as malicious for the same reason, please repackage it after removing all references to com.google.appinventor.components.runtime.ReplForm

@sp4ubw

Everyone will get an error like in the screenshots?

No , it’s in some extensions only

I never thought @Taifun creates malicious extensions

Although ReplForm useless in APK so that shouldn’t cause any problem.

@vknow360 these are Vishwas words not mine I am not saying

@vknow360

I just told him what Vishwas said

[sp4ubw (Darek T)]

Nobody will change dozens of extensions in the application to be able to publish it.

New Kodular create problems for users by force.

[Lollipop (Rahul)]

Atleast inform users/extension developer before update. Now, i can’t publish update.
We have to wait for Taifun, vknow360 to update their extensions. We don’t know if they want to update their extensions.
What if they say bye bye to kodular?

[vknow360 (Sunny Gupta)]

@Lollipop

vknow360

Hardly anyone uses it, so that shouldn’t make any difference.

[Lollipop (Rahul)]

I use your efile extension, i’m not sure if it is working.

@vknow360

Hardly anyone uses it,

[Anu10 (Anu)]

@vknow360

Hardly anyone uses it

Well i used many of your extensions in my project !!
