Opening an AIA File

The AIA file type is primarily associated with App Inventor.

AIA	File extension: AIA
	File type:	application project

What is an AIA file?

AIA files mostly belong to App Inventor by MIT. An AIA file is an Android application project created with App Inventor web-based application development environment. An Android application project is actually a ZIP-compressed archive with AIA filename extension. It contains source code, static assets (images, audio clips) etc. which may be compiled to an installable Android package (APK) file. Another type of AIA file is an action set used to automate tasks (e.g. resize a batch of images) in Illustrator vector graphics design software. An action set is a recorded sequence of commands which automatically perform basic/complex editing operations.

How do you open AIA files?

You need a suitable software like App Inventor to open an AIA file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your AIA file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a AIA file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

Programs that open and convert AIA files:

App Inventor by MIT
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. AIA files are often referred to as App Inventor developers because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
App Inventor (compressed project archive) by Massachusetts Institute of Technology
App Inventor is a free, cloud-based web IDE (Integrated Development Environment) maintained by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This visual programming environment provides building of Android and iOS applications using a blocks-based programming language. The AIA file is a ZIP compressed project file that contains multiple folders and files, like - BKY, SCM, etc. AIA files are commonly used to save backups of App Inventor projects. This file format is classified as Developer. Related links: Tutorials, Community, App Inventor for Android on Wikipedia
Illustrator (action set) by Adobe
Illustrator is a vector graphics design program and digital art editor. An AIA file created with this program is an action set used to automate graphics design/editing tasks. This file format is classified as Developer. Related links: About Actions
Illustrator (action file) by Adobe
Illustrator is a vector graphics editing and designing software developed by Adobe. The AIA file is an Adobe Illustrator action file that contains one or more actions recorded in Illustrator. It is a pre-recorded task initiated with a button click and used to automate common editing steps or for image batch processing. This file format is classified as Settings.

Kodular (compressed project archive) by Junnovate
Kodular is a free online visual programming environment developed by Junnovate for building Android applications with a blocks-type editor. It provides several modules (services) for creating Android applications without coding. The AIA file is a ZIP compressed project archive that contains files like - BKY, SCM, etc. AIA files are commonly used for saving backups of Kodular projects. This file format is classified as Developer. Related links: Documentation, Community, Kodular Wiki

AIA file format:

To find out what program is needed to open AIA files, you need to determine the file format. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. Our evaluation of the AIA files looks like this:

AIA is not a commonly used file extension and is primarily used by a single program. The two most common formats are as follows:

96% of all AIA files use the ZIP algorithm, the AIA file contains a number of compressed files. The average file count is 8 with most AIA files containing between 3 - 30 compressed files. File names inside are always \src\, \src\appinventor\, \youngandroidproject\ and \youngandroidproject\project.properties. Tip: If you rename the file ending to .zip and then double-click it, you see the included files and images. The average file size is 120 KB with most files being between 2 KB and 1 MB in size. Several words can almost always be found in the files, e.g. assets. Such AIA files store data about robot, calculator, deepl and space.
1% of all AIA files are Adobe Illustrator Action files. The content consists of readable text data, which can be read using a text editor. Most of these files are 1.4 KB to 1.4 KB in size.

All other AIA files (3%) have different formats. You can get all the details of your AIA file by dragging it onto this page or by clicking the button "Choose your .aia file to analyze" above.

How to solve problems with AIA files

Associate the AIA file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open application projects. Because only the current version supports the latest AIA file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the MIT manufacturer website after an available App Inventor update.
To make sure that your AIA file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
