I can no longer get any of my projects from "http://code.appinventor.mit.edu/" which lets you build bigger apps but i just get the error unable to retrieve your information please try again later.... Its been like this for months now but have seen someone with same issue and it was a half delete app that had caused it and it was fixed, so hoping mine could be fixed in the same way

The code.appinventor server frequently glitches.   It is glitched at the moment until MIT resets it.

I recommend users of this server always back up their Projects with an aia file at times like this. It will help reduce developer's stress levels when something like this happens.

The server has NOT been like this for months Brian.  It is generally up and running.

 When using code...  some of the project size restrictions are not present versus the main ai2 server.. Code... doesn't have the "deadline" limits and other limits imposed by App Engine.

Keep in mind that the ultimate limit on how big an App you can make will be the memory consumed by your browser.  If you are continually having issues, you may be reaching the practicl size limits for App Inventor 2.

Try again later today Brian.  MIT has been informed.

Regards,
Steve

i was not near the limits when the system stopped working and i had to make a second account which works fine even using bigger apps. Would just like to be able to get my old projects back

To clarify: Are you unable to access projects on code.appinventor.mit.edu using an anonymous code or a Google account?

You should be all set. There was a half-deleted project. I deleted the other half...
