Convert a .m MATLAB app to .mlapp

Hi all,

I have been developing a MATLAB app programatically using standard .m files. I usually prefer to do it this way as it gives me more control over the creation and handling of components, while allowing me to organize the code in different files.

At this stage, I would need to convert this to a Web App, however the compiler requires a .mlapp file as the main file. I have found a contribution on file exchange that converts an .m to a .mlapp file type but it is not very robust and for some reason doesn't work with my code.

Does anyone know a good solution for this?

Thank you in advance

Hi @Gonçalo Torres,

You can use the following Migration tool to conver a .m file to a .mlapp file. The contribution has been made by the MathWorks App Designer Team.

GUIDE to App Designer Migration Tool for MATLAB - File Exchange - MATLAB Central (mathworks.com)

If this is the file exchange you were talking about, kindly give more details about the issues you are facing when using the code.

Hi @Ganesh, thank you for your contribution. I was not referring to this tool, however I am not sure this can solve my issue. Although my code is all in .m files, I still use ui components such as uifigure. I do not have a GUIDE interface, so I don't have a .fig file which is required as an input to the tool you shared.

You will have to do it manually, unfortunately.
