PROBLEM: App Inventor 2 doesn't work w/ QR code in course
Posted: Mon Oct 22, 2018 5:04 am
I don't seem to find this topic in the forum; apologies if I missed it somehow.
I'm trying to follow the instructions in https://www.matrixtsl.com/resources/fil ... Course.pdf
on page 19.
Steps to reproduce:
1) In App Inventor 2, I scan the relevant QR code (the one on the right); it gets read and displayed as http://qrs.ly/7h5n6aY .
NOTE: That screen of App Inventor 2 mentions the option of entering a *6*-character code; obviously the last part of that URL is *7* characters.
2) When I touch the "connect with code" button, I get prompted by Android: "Open with Package installer [just once / always]".
3) I select "just once". I get a dismissable dialog box that says "There was a problem parsing the package. [OK]" I dismiss that by pressing [OK].
4) I also try entering only the "7h5n6ay", and touching "connect with code" --> the screen flickers for a moment but that's all.
If anyone could help with this, it'd be greatly appreciated.
