it was pretty simple once you understand

  1. download zip
  2. unzip zip
  3. in the system variable add the path to the bin folder inside the rush folder
  4. make a folder completely separated from the rush folder
  5. gitbash there and type `rush create “project name” and click enter
  6. now it will ask you for package name, author, version etc. just keep writing all those things
  7. now you can see the folder where you gitbashed now you can go to the folder click on src then keep going in the folder then you will see java file
  8. edit the java file or let it stay there [by default there is a sample code]
  9. exit the folder and then gitbash and type rush build
  10. now go to the folder again check the out folder you will see your extension ready

You only need to add it to the “deps” folder.

PS: AARs are not fully supported by App Inventor currently. You might want to read this thread.

Kudos and thanks to @Shreyash for this brilliant opportunity to create extensions. I had a few minor issues at the beginning (like some here) but he solved all of them perfectly.
Extension (aix) was created. Thanks again!

What do you need to implement it on MacOS? I can support you with that!

Nothing much, just a Mac machine. I was going to set up a CI pipeline for it soon, but nvm.

Great! All you’ll have to do is build Rush on your Mac. Here’s how you can do that:

  • First, install the Dart SDK, JDK 8 or above, and Gradle.
  • After that clone rush-cli and rush-annotation-processor from GitHub.
  • Then open a terminal in the rush-cli repo and then run dart scripts/build.dart -v 1.0.0-Mac -p <path_to_rush-annotation-processor_repo.
  • Once the build is successful, you’ll have a file named rush.zip in the “build/out” directory in rush-cli repo.

Rush doesn’t want to start

#115

Hello @samuelbeloni,

Can you explain what’s happen?

#116

I have installed rush, but when i launch it,he closes immediately.

#117

Rush is not a GUI application. You need to run it through a terminal app. This is explained in detail in the first post. Do read it.
