Testing the App

                  App Inventor allows us to test our app while creating. To test your app, connect your android
                  device to the Internet and download MIT AI2 Companion. Then, follow the given steps:
                  Step 1  Click on the Connect menu.
                  Step 2  Select AI Companion from the drop-down list.

                  Step 3  Open MIT AI2 Companion on your device and connect by scanning the QR code or
                          typing the code displayed on your screen.



















                  Make sure your device and computer are connected to the same wireless network to perform
                  these steps.
                  If you do not have any android device, you can download Emulator on your computer which
                  works just like an Android device but works on the computer. The commonly used Android
                  Emulators are Android Studio, LD Player, Make Your Own etc.

                                    Suppose Android and iOS were rival kingdoms in a digital realm. What unique
                                    features  and  powers  would  each  kingdom possess, and  how  would  they
                                    influence the development of apps within their domains?
