Does app inventor hold a cache of the blocks?

[Timothy Fox]

Ive been using App inventor from the beginning, I was even one of the first to be invited to use it when it went to MIT. Ive noticed something that has confused me for some time.  When Ive built apps and during the testing process blocks are changed, deleted, and added Ive had mixed reactions.

It almost appears that the code is being cached somewhere and it 'reuses' it even if the blocks have been changed.

Ive made a simple app in Appinventor 1, then remade it AppInventor2.  I have been trying to expand it and enhance it and Ive noticed the same problem.

After changing blocks around and adding or deleting, when I run it thru the emulators it doesnt respond as it should. It appears to use some of the 'old' information.  Ive cleared the cache on the AICompanion app, even uninstalled and reinstalled it. But the phenomenon persists.

Just as a test I made a brand new project and added the blocks in the same state as the other project, but these were added 'clean' no deleting or changing.  And the app works exactly as the blocks show.  Going back to the previous app...It still doesnt behave properly.,The blocks and titles are EXACTLY the same in both apps.  This was done on purpose, but the older app still does not behave like the new one.

Has anyone else noticed this and is there a way to clear the 'cache' off of the web based tool?   

Any ideas?

Clear your Chrome cache ?    I am not familiar with the behavior you describe but clearing the browser cache clears similar block issues.

Does that work?

I have just tried it.. No luck.  Basically what is happening is ive changed images on the canvas and added splash screens.  But the main image 'persists' on the transitions. It doesnt happen on the clean copy tho.   Ive even packaged it and installed it on a tablet...does the same thing.  The cache in google and the app are cleaned....
