Testing the new TensorFlow integration for App Inventor
See original GitHub issueBackground
TLDR: I’m rewriting some of the App Inventor integration in ML for Kids and would like help testing it
Image projects on Machine Learning for Kids were originally based on IBM’s cloud service “Visual Recognition”.
Whether students made their project in Scratch, Python, or App Inventor, all of these integrations were actually sending their requests to train models and classify images to the Visual Recognition service (via ML for Kids).
The Visual Recognition service is being withdrawn in December 2021, so I need a different approach that removes the dependency on this.
I’ve already fixed this for projects that students make in Scratch and Python - those integrations now do their own training and classifying, using the TensorFlow library.
I’m working on doing the same for App Inventor.
It’s been a while since I’ve done any Android development, and the App Inventor development environment is… a little unfriendly. So this needs more testing than I can do by myself.
I’m looking for kind volunteers to try out the ML for Kids integration with App Inventor on their Android phones.
What’s next?
It’s not ready just yet - I’m planning ahead. But I think I’m only a week or two away from having something working.
- I’ll give you step-by-step instructions to follow
- Don’t worry if you’ve never used Machine Learning for Kids and/or App Inventor before!
- It won’t take long
- e.g. I’ll give you a sample ML project to start from, so you don’t have to collect your own ML training example images if you don’t want to. I’ll make the whole thing as quick as possible
I’ll ask you to tell me:
- if it works at all
- anything else you notice
- (e.g. does it take long to train? does it take long to classify?)
If you’re familiar with adb, I’ll also ask if you’d mind sending me the output from “adb logcat” while running it. No worries if you’re not though. That’s just a nice-to-have bonus.

Hey @dalelane, i’d be happy to help. Just let me know here or via email and i’ll follow the steps to test it on my android phone and report it back.
@adamcohenrose That forum thread was a huge help, thanks.
I’ve tried enabling the legacy file mode - latest apk with that turned on is https://www.dropbox.com/t/sWm51aMA9qFd2b7G
