Is there any reason why the entire article should be in the past sense? The fact that Google has abandoned App Inventor doesn't mean it no longer exists. It's being officially continued by the MIT. Jimmy Fleischer (talk) 22:11, 7 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. I'm going to rename it too. Espertus (talk) 20:51, 30 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

For one, the statement that was reverted was simply false. Will Dormann made no such claim about App Inventor's source code (or any source code, in fact). His claim is about Android apps. Secondly, on the face of it, the statement doesn't really cohere as written. If App Inventor has crypto keys in its source code, what danger is that supposed to indicate? Thirdly, the claim that the secrets issue is connected to the virus-scanners' false positives also doesn't cohere and is provided without any explanation or documentation. Finally, this does not appear to be a widespread or significant criticism of App Inventor, or at least no evidence was given of such and it seems as if this could have simply been dealt with as a bug report.
