Reading a Sketchware project's data

This documentation shows you how to read a sketchware project's data.

Where are they

Sketchware stores its data on the folder INTERNAL/.sketchware/

There are 3 directories in which sketchware stores its projects in:

• mysc/{project-id} -> Where the generated code of a project are cached, you need to run the project to let sketchware generate them.

• mysc/list/{project-id} -> This folder contains the file named project which contains the project metadata (such as: app name, package name, etc).

• data/{project-id} -> This folder contains the data of the project as shown in the table below

  Filename	Description
  view	Stores the layout and screens contained in the project
  logic	Stores the blocks, events, components, variables contained in the project
  library	Stores the information about the libraries used in the project, like firebase, appcompat, etc
  file	Declares screens & customviews (where its data are contained in view & logic) + its options; such as orientation, keyboard settings, etc
  resource	Stores resources used in the project

Decrypting

If you did try reading those files directy, you'll get a mess of binary data. It's because those files are encrypted by Sketchware. Decrypting these files are very straightforward, use AES128 with the CBC method with PKCS#5 or PKCS#7 padding (if you're encrypting and you're using PKCS#7, make sure to have 8 as the block size) and set the key & IV to be "sketchwaresecure".
