Cannot use PosenetTest.aia or TophatMe.aia sample apps #31

Closed wr200m closed 4 years ago

Describe the bug I'm interested in using posenet extension supplied on this page: https://mit-cml.github.io/extensions/ and especially I would like to mark the posenet points on the camera feed. I was not able to get the canvas to overlay on top of the webviewer so I have been trying to see how the sample apps accomplish that. However, an error always comes up from ai2.appinventor.mit.edu whenever I try to load the posted sample apps.

"This project was saved with a newer version of the App Inventor system. We will attempt to load the project, but there may be compatibility issues."

ai2.appinventor.mit.edu About info: Built: February 18 2020 Version: nb182b Use Companion: 2.57b or 2.57bu Target Android SDK: 28 (Android 9.0 Pie)

Affects Obviously, the sample code would not load properly. Almost all the code is missing. I'm seeing a horizontal arrangement with the canvas and the webviewer side by side. So I would not be able to guess how overlay can be implemented.

Expected behavior Either the code should load on the production version of ai2.appinventor.mit.edu or you can show me where the beta version that is compatible with the sample apps may be so I can try it out.

Steps to reproduce Download PosenetTest.aia and TophatMe.aia from https://mit-cml.github.io/extensions/ Load these projects into ai2.appinventor.mit.edu and you see the error message posted above.

I just tried TopHatMe, both via a USB connection and by building it and running the apk file. Both work (with a little flakiness). In order to use this demo you should be using our test server at ai2-test.appinventor.mit.edu and you should be using the Companion associated with that build version 2.57t5u.

Please try that and verify that this is working for you. == Thanks

Yep. This is working for me now. Thank you!. I was not aware of the test server. Would you share with me the scheduled release to production?

We can't give hard deadlines, but at the moment we're aiming for this functionality to be available March 27th, 2020. In the meantime, you can continue to use it on ai2-test.
