Reporting issues with MIT App Inventor

Thanks for taking the trouble to file an issue report.

This page is for reporting issues you encounter in

1. Testing the MIT Experimental App Inventor service, running as part of our testing program at experimental.appinventor.mit.edu; or
2. Using the Java Archive (JAR) files to run your own instance of App Inventor.

When you file a new issues, please use the dropdown menu to select "Report a bug with the MIT service" or "Report an issue with the JAR files" as appropriate.

Here are some things to keep in mind:

• Before filing the report, please search the list of existing issues to see if your report duplicates an issue that's already there. You can also click on the original report and add a comment, rather than creating a new issue. You can also star the issue and tell the system to send you email when the issue has been updated.

• Please answer the questions in the template that will be provided when you create the issue report. In particular, make sure to include the version number of the Appinventor system you are reporting on.

• If you are seeking help (not just reporting a bug), you should generally post to the appropriate subgroup in the App Inventor Discussion Forum rather than use this bug report tool. In any case, it's a good idea to search in the forum before reporting a bug, to see if other App Inventor community members have commented on the issue.

• It can sometimes be useful to see the information from the Android log (for problems that occur on the phone or emulator) or the Java Console log (for problem in the Blocks Editor). Please see the section near the end of the App Inventor reference section on testing and debugging for information on how to access those logs.
