MIT App Inventor is a visual, block-based programming platform that lets users build Android applications without writing traditional code. This repository contains the open-source server and client sources for those who want to self-host their own App Inventor instance or contribute components and features to the project.
Use cases
- build android apps without coding
- self-host my own app inventor instance
- teach programming to beginners with blocks
- contribute a new component to app inventor
- run a private instance of app inventor for my school
- develop custom app inventor extensions
When to choose
- you just want to build App Inventor apps - use the free hosted instance at appinventor.mit.edu instead
- you need a lightweight tool - the build requires Java 11, Ant, and the Google Cloud SDK
- you are looking for a general-purpose Android IDE - App Inventor is block-based and not a replacement for Android Studio
