Are there any tutorials to convert a program to an .8xk flash application? I found a few on here, but none of them work.

I guess the real question would be: Are there are any working tutorials for converting a program to an .8xk?
Could you list the ones you've tried so far, and are you trying to make apps using Basic or assembly? Also please provide us with as much information as you can about what you've tried since it's possible you did something incorrectly. I know I have.
The only one I know of for Basic is Basic Builder. Unfortunately the link to the flash debugger is dead. I have it installed though so if no one has the installer then I could try to collect all the files I have which includes Wappsign and upload to Github, but it's possible I could miss some since I don't know if the installer placed any files in a location I am unaware of. I haven't been able to find it rehosted anywhere either. However, it seems Rabbitsign is being used more now instead, and rightfully so considering the original is no longer supported.
As for assembly here is what I found on Cemetech:

http://benryves.com/bin/brass/tutorials/tiapps.htm — tutorial about signing apps in Brass
The DCS SDK includes a helpful batch file to assemble programs by default with Brass. Kerm modified it slightly in the first link to assemble apps.
While reading these threads people said Spasm could automatically signs apps, but I haven't figured how to do that myself. It is only mentioned sparingly on alberthdev's page with regard to building it. Nothing at all about it in the documentation. ):

When TI removed the flash debugger and stopped providing support for it, they effectively stopped people from being able to sign their own apps. If I am not mistaken, they have actively tried to shut down any working mirrors for downloading the debugger. This means that the only real way to make your own app from a basic program is to have already had the flash debugger installed.
Brass may work, but I don't code in assembly and haven't tried it. I have heard that if you can get it working it works well, but that it can be a pain to get working.
I would like to note that I did find this page which may contain a valid download for the flash debugger, but I have not downloaded or tested it.
What about Rabbitsign?
Also I just found a mirror of it on TI-planet as well. I think I will upload it to archive.org.
It seems TI really wants to kill off development. Kind of sad really, if our community disappears I don't think it will be because of lack of interest. I feel nostalgic when I read about how people first learned how to program, after they discovered that they could play games on it in math class. I'd really like to see Numworks change things around.
