For those interested, there is now an offline / standalone version of AI2 that can be accessed HERE (wiki pages HERE will be updated to show instruction for AI2). In the zipped version, there is also the companion app that should be installed on your device.

Please see the comments from Hal HERE.

Is there a GitHub fork that contains the source for this, by any chance?  If not, could you put the source (in a non-zipped form) into the Sourceforge site for the project?

Mark, For now, I put in the source in zipped format. 
I will try to upload uncompressed version later.

Hi Hossein,
   I cannot connect the companion app to the server.
When I enter the code into the companion app. I get a message saying the device cannot reach the url http://rendezvous.appinventor.mit.
I am working on a PC without internet connectivity and with a Wi-Fi key working as access point.
To overcome the problem I tried to configure a local DNS server to resolve rendezvous.appinventor.mit.edu with the IP address of my PC.
Even if from DNS log I see that the name is properly resolved, the companion app cannot connect to the Dev Server.
Thank you in advance for your help.

   Andrea

P.S.: Andrea in Italy is a masculine name ...

Hello Hossein,

I use AI2 complete for a bit big project. Thank you for this super version working well.

 I test also this project on the MIT AI2. Except some differences due to the code version (About screen for example), I have the same problem with the two AI2 :
The blocks editor becomes very slow (four or five seconds to move or open any object...) after a certain amount of blocks (I cannot identifies how many exactly...).
I communicate this problem to the MIT AI2 forum and they said the problem is known and they are working on.

Know you this problem ? 
Have you a plan to  solve it in the "Complete" version ?
Have you a plan to release a new version of AI2 Complete as soon the MIT AI2 will be corrected ?

Best regards, Christian (from France... Excuses for the bad english...).

The slowness is something that MIT Dev team is aware of and is actively working on resolving the issue.

Re offline, please routinely make backup of your project by downloading the source, because the offline version is not stable and you could loose ALL your projects.

-Hossein.

Hossein, I am very interested and grateful for their work. 
I've had a problem that I have solved and other is solution pending.

The unique solution for me  and I hope for others with same problem:
Windows 7 32bits

A double config for two servers
WinStartAIServer.cmd
@echo off

echo "Starting AiLiveComplete App Inventor..."
"%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java"
JAVA_HOME C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\

WinStartBuildServer.cmd
@echo off
echo "Starting Ai2LiveComplete BuildServer..."
cd BuildServer\lib
"%JAVA_HOME2%\bin\java"
JAVA_HOME2 c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_55\

Now I got an error in Android device , sqlite sample not work, return error 
when the program start a qwery, appears:
C:\users\user1\AppData|Local\Temp\1398..........\youngandroid project\....
\src\appinventor\ai_test\program name\Screen1.yail:8:104:unbound location null

Please, can you help me?

Hi Hossein,
I saw your offline version of appinventor, it will be good if you contribute those features in the main version of appinventor. (like putting sqlite in main version of appinventor)
