This repository is a template repository that you can use for building an App Inventor extension separate from the App Inventor source repository. It is used primarily for our system to create TensorFlow.js-based extensions.

To get started, place the sources for your extension under the src/ directory. All of the standard annotations App Inventor provides are available to you. Any libraries you need should be placed under lib/deps/.

You will need:

• java 1.8 (either OpenJDK or Oracle)
  • Do not use Java 8 or newer features as our build system does not yet support this.
• ant 1.10 or higher
• git 2.3.10 or higher

When cloning this repository, use the following command:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/mit-cml/extension-template.git my-extension

If you are cloning from a repository created using GitHub's template repository feature, you will need to run the upgrade-appinventor.sh script to obtain the initial dependencies.
