It sounds like you're encountering errors in your GPS app on MIT App Inventor. Error code 4003 typically indicates a problem with the GPS signal or location services. Error 404 usually means the server or resource you're trying to access is not found.
Here's a detailed solution:
Check your device's location settings to ensure GPS is enabled.
Verify that your app has the necessary permissions to access location services.
Ensure that your app's components (like the GPS sensor) are correctly configured and initialized.
Test your app in different environments to see if the issue persists.
If using a web service for navigation, ensure the URLs are correct and the server is accessible.
Using these steps should help resolve the errors you're encountering.
I've identified the problem and submitted a fix for review on our end. In the meantime, you can sideload an updated version of the companion for Android or join Apple TestFlight for the latest beta version.
Are you using Companion 2.70d1u ? There is a bug with ors. See ewpatton's comment above. Until the bug is fixed the only way you can use ors is using that temporary Companion in live development.
Hey, i have a restricted student account, and i tried the android companion patch on my school account and my teachers home account. Do you think you can provide a more accesible patch?
Hey, i just exported and imported my app onto the test server, and am trying to get the companion to work. I think the problem is the restrictions on my phone, and i will post a success or failure of the app tomorrow.
The test server using Companion .70t1u works fine with Navigate using several projects with my ORS code blocks. Make sure you secure the free api token to use the ORS api.
The 'patch' works with Navigate too. I am sorry, I have no idea why you cannot download, however you should be able to use the test server if your school IT department 'white lists' the test server url .
I don't know when MIT will post the latest version of the code to use Navigate on the main server. You may have to wait until then to successfully use Navigate.
I can download, but the parental controls for my phone say to hand the phone over so we can change the setting. Do you have any idea whag that setting my be?
Explain what you are doing. Are you using the test server?
When I use the test server,with Navigate component, the error is gone See post #18.
Be aware. the main server is still not updated as of today 6/28/2024 Wait until nb 197 is released. or only use the test server.
. Using the test server and Companion 2.70t1u the following works
orstes3.aia (5.4 KB) except when ORS does not have a tile showing desert tracks and tiles that have minimal data routing data. See the examples in the ortest aia.
