Hi @ILoveThunkable and @Conor,

What I meant by the .aia file was just the project source containing the design and the blocks. Presently, we are unable to download the project source to our local PC. I don’t know the proper name of the iOS source files.

@ILoveThunkable,

I agree that the project source is automatically backed up on the Thunkable server, but it appears that the Thunkable team sometimes deletes these server files:

> [@Delete all the projects on ios-alpha.thunkable.com](http://community.thunkable.com/t/delete-all-the-projects-on-ios-alpha-thunkable-com/2736):
>
> Hi guys, We are going to roll out a better and newer version at [ios-alpha.thunkable.com](http://ios-alpha.thunkable.com). There are some major changes and we need to flush the project database. I am going to do that by 6pm PT today (4/18/2017). Just FYI slight_smile Wei

Since we presently can’t backup those files, they would have to be manually reentered again, which would be error prone and time consuming.

Thanks!  
BillG
