Convert AIA to APK

Building Android APK packages with App Inventor

aia to apk conversion is typically searched by users that need to turn or export AIA projects from App Inventor to APK package that can be installed on Android devices. This is doable with App Inventor, but only for finished projects that can be used to build working apps and not just partially finished works.

1. Open the AIA File in App Inventor:

   • Go to the App Inventor website and sign in.
   • Click on Projects and select Import project (.aia) from my computer... to upload your AIA file.

2. Build the APK:

   • Once the project is open, click on the Build menu.
   • Select Build APK to compile the project into an APK file.

3. Download the APK:

   • After the build process completes, a link to download the APK file will appear.
   • Click the link to download the APK to your computer.

4. Upload the APK to your phone:

   • Copy your .apk to your Android device.
   • Use the Inventor Companion App (now known as MIT AI2 Companion, but the name may change again) from Google Market to test your app

It goes without saying that you will require App Inventor to work with .aia files. There is really no alternative, as these projects only work with the original software.
