Great, thank you! :+1:

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.)

This link is not running for me: Join the MIT App Inventor beta - TestFlight - Apple
It si valid only for the old version. Where is the new link?

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 no issue with it.

I receive this problem message. About to tell with the developer for this public link.

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.

Hello Mr. Patton,

Is the Map Navigation component available for IOS on the version 2.64.6 just release? And same question for the location sensor ?

Please advise!

Regards,

Hernan Clark

Hello,

you can check it here:
Does App Inventor Run on iOS Yet?

Is there an estiate when the MAPS feature of inventor will be supported in IOS? example navigation, and locationSensor?

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.

Thank you Mr. Patton for your response!

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.

Regards,

Hernan Clark.
