UPDATE 4.9.10

NEW CHANGES

  • The new FirebaseRealtimeDB Component was released in the last update with most of the SDK functions implemented as blocks but this was confusing to most users. We’ve decided to rename the blocks to be more in line with the old component.

  • Added proper hints and documentation for the new FirebaseRealtimeDB component. You can know what each block does by hovering over the block.

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed Firebase java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lcom/google/firebase/appcheck/interop/InternalAppCheckTokenProvider issue.

BETA UPDATE 4.10

This is a major update as we prepare for the upcoming Version 5 release.

We’ve merged several changes from MIT App Inventor, bringing improved compatibility for projects and extensions. This update includes a new Blockly upgrade, a new layout component called Absolute Arrangement, and several important bug fixes.

The Companion app has also received updates. You can now save projects to the Companion and preview the cached version of your app directly from it. These features are part of the changes merged from App Inventor.

On our side, we’ve fixed several issues, including failed authentication bugs, crashes caused by Margin and Padding in certain cases, and crashes related to Material Components. We’ve also reworked some components, including the Badge Component and Firebase Components, to improve stability and prevent crashes. The Companion UI has been partially reworked as well, with more improvements coming soon.

Since this is a major update, there may still be bugs or issues specific to certain apps. Please test your applications using the beta version and share your feedback with us. Your reports will help us fix any remaining issues and push a more stable version to the main builder.

If you’ve reported issues earlier please do create a new topic as well with issues you are facing so that we can track them better and resolve it at the earliest.

Thank you
