App Inventor Update (again!)

Another update to MIT App Inventor was made on 8 January 2018, and users will see a pop-up screen alerting them to this on their first sign-in after that date. None of the updates described in the release notes should have an impact on existing Smart Skills apps, though as with every update, small changes to the Designer and Blocks screens to incorporate new components, properties and blocks will be visible.

If you have installed the AI2 Companion App on an Android device in order to use the WiFi or USB 'live programming' methods, it will need to be updated. If you installed the Companion App from the Google Play store, it will update automatically; if you installed it directly to your device (e.g. Amazon Fire tablet), you will need to manually update to version 2.46 at appinv.us/companion.
