We are trying to use Chromebook with Play Store in order to install App Inventor and see if we can get an app to run on the device. We are able to install the app, but when we are trying to connect, it would not load. App Inventor shoes that is it 50% connected but stops there. On the app in Chromebook is it showing an IP of 0.0.0.0
Is the IP not being pulled? Is there a way to get this to work?

This is something that we are looking into supporting, but it is not supported at this time. The Android for Chromebook runtime runs the companion in a separate sandbox that prevents it from reading information such as the Wifi IP address (which is why you get 0.0.0.0). Without a valid IP, the companion will not work. We expect that in the future we will have a solution for Chromebooks that will allow this.
Regards,
Evan
