Appbuilder Project Init

Category: Engineering  ·  Sub-category: engineering-misc  ·  Last updated:
type:generator
Initialize an Adobe App Builder project end-to-end without Developer Console UI clicks. Creates the Console project and workspace, subscribes APIs (including those needing a product profile), maps user intent to the right template, runs non-interactive `aio app init`, and guides post-init customization. Use whenever the user mentions creating an App Builder app, scaffolding a project, `aio app init`, setting up an Experience Cloud extension, adding actions or web assets, creating a Console project or workspace, adding APIs, or bootstrapping App Builder — even if they don't say "App Builder". Also for SPA templates, AEM extensions, API Mesh, Asset Compute workers, and MCP server projects. Also handles debugging init failures — template not found, `aio app init` hangs or times out, Node version mismatches, npm install failures, post-init build errors, `aio login` issues, `aio app run` showing nothing, or `aio console project create` / `workspace create` / `workspace api add` errors.
