I have reviewed and tested the bug fixes. They have all been successfully fixed. Great! At least in this respect, AI2 for iOS is one step ahead of Android!(Because there is no way to do the same without an extension in Android.)
MIT App Inventor for iOS version 2.64.6 (2) is now available on TestFlight. This version of MIT App Inventor includes the following changes since 2.64.6 (1):
Add CircularProgress and LinearProgress components
Add new methods and events to the TextBox, PasswordTextBox, and EmailPicker components
Fix an issue where the Screen's Scrollable property would not take effect
Allow for quoted strings in Content-Type headers in the Web component
Please continue to help us test this release and report any issues via the community.

Hello @ewpatton
It is only a Companion beta version for a specific developers team or is open for all?
I have not this version in my TestFlight.

That is the right link for that group. Once you've joined you will need to go to the TestFlight app and refresh the list of installable versions to get 2.64.6.
I have solved the issue. Before I hand wrote in the Safari Brwoser the link and not runs. After I direct open the link from the MIT AI2 Page and it runs.
The VisorWeb ussed to access the Google Maps is not running well in iOS the separators of the Latitud and Longitude: '%C2' = ','. We need only put ','. With '%C2' we receive a mistake of the Google Maps. In Android we can use both codes.

Maps and Navigation are both already supported in the iOS companion. However, a change to ORS has broken the navigation implementation in the version on the App Store. There is a fix on TestFlight version 2.64.6 (6), which you can get if you use the link in the first post of this thread and join the beta testing program.
Testflight requires I get an invitation to test the Beta version before installing it. How can I get a code I can redeem or an invitation to beta test?
Also the IOS Companion from the App Store, mainly the web component PostFile block does not stream the data file to the RestAPI server. The event.body is always null or empty at the server´s end.
I have spent many days trying to investigate this. The emulator however does send data but I cannot test the recording as it does not provides access to the microphone. Is this also fixed on the beta version on test flight? I am trying to send the soundRecoding data via the PostFIle to a server from the IOS companions. Please let me know if the PostFIle Request works on IOS or if this is a limitation that is not currently available.
