I'm trying to make a calculator but I keep getting the notification that I set "left" into something wrong. anybody know what it is and how to fix it?
I've tried switching all text to the left but it didn't work.
Any screenshot of some relevant blocks?
Most probably the method you are trying to use is still not implemented

Error from Companion: error: unrecognized method. (irritants: setLeft)
this is my error, but I haven't seen any posts about this error. anybody can help?
Post the aia.
I have a student getting the same error message. Their app literally only have buttons on it and they lead to another screen with a randomizer for a movie to watch. Very simple code. No clue why it's come up today when it was working fine last week.
- sorry, we can not see the code the student is using; perhaps the student slightly changed the something so we haven't a clue too.
App Inventor for ios, which your student is using, has many issues still. The issue might be listed here
app inventor on ios is not yet as stable as it is on Android
See https://doesappinventorrunonios.com/
A guess is the student modified a control that is supposed to allow a developer to modify where the text appears on a control . Probably (setLeft) positions the text. Have the student revert to an earlier version of the Project using the aia he/should be regularly saving.
The Left and Top properties were added to components as part of the introduction of the AbsoluteArrangement layout. This is not yet implemented in the iOS version, so if components are placed in one then they will get that error.

Hi, I am getting the same error but am not using a absolute arrangement. I am using vertical and horizontal arrangements also I have checkboxes and text that are not showing on the companion or the app build. Can anyone help?
By the way I am using the IOS Companion.
Edit, I solved the issue.
I had to Create the Screen Again
You can also try out the new version via TestFlight which implements the AbsoluteArrangement for iOS. It will be in the next release for the App Store once it is approved by Apple.
