MATLAB: How to check if a MLAPP or MLX file is corrupt

Question

I am not able to see the source code of my app. I assume that my app is corrupt. How can I check that?

Answer 1

A quick way to check if an MLAPP or MLX is corrupted is as follows:

Replace the ".mlapp" or ".mlx" extension by a “.zip” extension. After that, try to extract the ZIP archive using Windows Explorer, or other file archiver tools (7zip, WinZIP). If the tool complains that it is not a valid ZIP file, then it is likely corrupt.
