General items:

If your code changes how something works on the device (i.e., it affects the companion):

  • I branched from ucr
  • My pull request has ucr as the base

Further, if you've changed the blocks language or another user-facing designer/blocks API (added a SimpleProperty, etc.):

  • I have updated the corresponding version number in appinventor/components/src/.../common/YaVersion.java
  • I have updated the corresponding upgrader in appinventor/appengine/src/.../client/youngandroid/YoungAndroidFormUpgrader.java (components only)
  • I have updated the corresponding entries in appinventor/blocklyeditor/src/versioning.js

For all other changes:

  • [x ] I branched from master
  • [x ] My pull request has master as the base

@muskan040399 It seems like you've committed an entire copy of the appengine SDK, among potentially others but GitHub won't even show the full changeset due to the size. Please clean up your working tree first and update the PR accordingly.

I tested it locally and it's still not showing the extension properties description.

Hello, @jewelshkjony

I am working on the bug related to extension properties not showing description text.

I am facing an issue with my local repository. The ComponentDatabase.java file is missing, and I have not been able to restore it.

Here is what I have tried so far:

I attempted to restore the file using git restore and git checkout after linking to the upstream repository. Both commands failed with a "pathspec did not match" error.

I also tried to create the file manually, but the links to the file's code gave me a "404: Not Found" error.

Can you please help me get this file so I can proceed with the bug fix?

Thank you for your help.
