I think it’s because Apple doesn’t allow them.

@eko.devs.apploroceo  
Has App Inventor released an iOS version?

But if i am right its just one language. Right?  
So they could easily add exstensions again.

</div>

no bro then u need to learn, react native and its libraries  
if Thunkable does it, I will surely learn the language  
[@thunkable\_staff](https://community.thunkable.com/groups/thunkable_staff)

and the java extensions don’t support Thunkable

hence react native extensions wont support mit

so theres a huge difference

tho these both are drag and drop platforms but there is difference in language

so impossible for extensions now…

@eko.devs.apploroceo  
Companion has nothing to do with the extensions.

Has App Inventor started to **compile projects for iOS**? This is the only time you can comment about extensions.

All other no-code low-code development platform has companions for both Android and iOS but **only Thunkable compile projects for iOS**.

The App Inventor team had announced previously that there are no plans to support the App Inventor extension on iOS apps. Extensions will remain Android only.

While this is true, it has nothing to do with Thunkable X.

My point in posting about App Inventor’s plans was to emphasize the complexity of having extensions for a cross-platform product, such as Thunkable X. A previous poster commented that since App Inventor has extensions, now has an iOS companion app, and is planning iOS support, that extensions are possible in Thunkable X. My post, again, showcases that extensions are not easy to implement for cross-platform, especially due to limitations from Apple.

iOS limits a lot of features for security that the apple doesn’t realize is unnecessary. So maybe make it a limitation that if you have extensions, your app can not be published to the app store or cannot be run on a Apple OS Device. Otherwise your app can be published to the app store or can be run on a Apple OS Device.
