App Inventor for iOS

Hi,

I made very simple IOS app just to test map component. When I tried it with Companion map component worked properly.
But when I built IOS Ad Hoc ipa file and installed it to iphone 12 pro, IOS Version 18.5, OpenStreenMap tiles were not loaded into map component.

Kindly pls advise why tiles in IOS Ad Hoc .ipa case are not loaded and how to avoid that error.

Thx

I've tracked down the cause of the issue and hopefully I can get an update out to the test server today.

As I am facing some similar issues, I made some tests. The behaviour with iPhone and Android is different, but it is also different depending on the zoom value, and the region (US, Europe ...) as the map availability may be different.

Here is my test result with iPhone Xs Max running iOS 18.5 and Xiaomi Mi11 Ultra with Android 14

  • When starting the App, NO map is displayed with iOS, MapType must be explicitely selected in the code (Blocks)
  • MapType 1: Road is working fine for iOS and Android, as well as for any location, and any zoom
  • Map Type 2: Aerial is working fine for iOS at any Zoom in US and France. For Android; aerial does not work for zoom over 15 for US and over 8 for France
  • Map Type 3: Terrain is working fine in IOS up to zoom 15 for US but limited to zoom 7 for France. For Android terrain does not work for zoom over 15 for US and over 8 for France

Here is my app:
