Can't build simple calculator app

Since I couldn’t get a ‘large’ app to build from a spec document without continually getting ‘failed to load’ error message I tried a simple ‘build a simple calculator’ which it could not do. Got the ubiquitous ‘failed to load’ error. Saw a note somewhere speculating v3 might drop today…could that be the source of these issues?

Hi @Ray_Beausoleil,

If you are facing the "Failed to load the app. Try reloading it” error, this issue could be with network security settings, firewalls, or ad-blockers that are incorrectly blocking a critical Google domain: aistudiocdn.

Here is a step-by-step guide to resolve this issue, based on successful fixes from fellow community members.

Whitelist the aistudiocdn Domain:

Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or home router may be automatically blocking this domain as a “spam” or “malware” threat. You need to manually allow it.

  1. Check Your ISP/Router App: Open your ISP’s management app (e.g., AT&T users should check the AT&T Smart Home Manager app) or log into your router’s admin panel.
  2. Look for Security Alerts: Navigate to the security, firewall, or advanced settings section. Look for a list of “blocked threats” or security notifications.
  3. Find and Allow aistudiocdn: You should see aistudiocdn listed as a blocked domain. Select it and choose the option to “Allow Access,” “Unblock,” or “Whitelist.”
  4. Reload AI Studio: Once you have allowed the domain, refresh your AI Studio page. It should now load correctly.

Optional Steps: Some users found disabling your ad-blocker and clearing the browser cache to be helpful as well.
