Any update on the fix for the PostFIle Request using IOS?
I am testing the latest version of the IOS companion from testflight, and when I send a PostFile request with a digital sound file with a request header with Content-Type configured to audio/mp4 or any other digital data type, the API server shows the event.body: null,
isBase64Encoded: false.
The same operation works well when sending the same binary data using POSTMAN.
I and continuing to test version 2.65.6 and I am ruuning into another issue that I would like to share and exchange some ideas with anyone folloing this thread.
I am testing the Texting component under the IOS companion using version 2.64.6, I get the error " undefined variable. Irritants: (yail/com.google.appinventor.components.common.ReceivingState) Note: You will not see another error reported for 5 seconds." When I try to set the receiving state to always. In order to receive a texting response from the recipient.
The texting component is supposed to be working under IOS. Please let me know if I am missing something during my testing.
The ReceivingState helper block hasn't been implemented on iOS yet. You will need to use the old integer-based constants.
That said, Apple doesn't really provide any insight into receiving messages. The Texting component can initiate sending a message (via the Messages app), but I don't believe we get any information about whether texts are received. Depending on what you are trying to do it may not be possible in App Inventor.
ListView images in BLOCKS section will be fixed in next release,
Because For dynamic lists with images, ListView is the only option to get it work on iOS
I'm not entirely sure what your message is meant to convey. If you have a bug in the ListView and can share a project with me to investigate I can take a look.
Have anyone ported the TinyWebDB app from pithon 2.7 to the python 3+? . I just tried to run the 27 version in google cloud through its app engine but python 27 is no longer supported as an option when configuring the app.
Could you let me know if tinyWebDB can be made available on python 3? Since the current tinyWebDB online uses the MIT server and it has a limit to 1000 entries, It is not a viable option.
Also, where you able to check on the WebComponent FilePost no sending any file from the IOS companion using the latest beta version?
Have anyone ported the TinyWebDB app from python 2.7 to the python 3+? . I just tried to run the 27 version in google cloud through its app engine but python 27 is no longer supported as an option when configuring the app and if we try to run it using the supported python build, it errs not allowing it to be access through the web link.
Is there a tinyWebDB version for python 3 or NodeJS, etc. Or is there a link to the open source to port the project to a supported version?
Since the current tinyWebDB online uses the MIT server and it has a limit to 1000 entries plus it is open and public, It is not a viable option.
Also has anyone checked on the WebComponent FilePost request no posting the attached file? THe same process works fine using POSTMAN but no through the ai2 using IOS companion and the latest beta version 2.64.6?
I've pushed a new version of the companion app to TestFlight. This version is 2.64.6 (8) and adds some preliminary support for Bluetooth low energy and the Micro:bit UART service. These features are very much a work in progress and more functionality remains to be implemented. If you are interested in helping test these features, you will need to load your projects into ai2-test since it will allow projects with these extensions to still load on iOS.

We have released MIT App Inventor version 2.64.6 (13) to Apple TestFlight. This version includes a number of bug fixes for the Trendline component and adds some preliminary support for the PersonalImageClassifier extension.

FYI noticing that here https://doesappinventorrunonios.com/
under Animations, for the Flung event (for Sprite and for Canvas), is not showing the 'xvel' and 'yvel' under Properties. Is this intentional, or a missed item? (I am going by bold text means it is implemented, grey text means not implemented yet, strike-through means can't be implemented, but I don't know what completely not there means.)
xrel and yrel are parameters of Flung, they are not properties of the Canvas/Sprite. The UI does not show parameters of events. If an event is shown as implemented (black text), then all of its parameters are there.
Thank you, and yes, my terminology was incorrect, I used the incorrect nomenclature between the Component -- Event -- Properties versus what you see on the Block (for Ball, ImageSprite or Canvas.Flung)
I've published a new version of the iOS companion to Apple TestFlight. This build contains updates to some dependencies to fix a crash in the Spreadsheet component when using credentials.
Other components that could be affected by this update:
ChatBot
CloudDB
ImageBot
Spreadsheet
Translator
Web
Please let us know if you encounter any issues with this build.
I've pushed a new version of the iOS companion to Apple TestFlight. This version adds support for two new extensions, PersonalAudioClassifier and TeachableMachine. These features are still experimental and we appreciate your continued feedback.
My first time ever posting here. And have little experience with codings, recently learning ai2 2 months ago.
I have joined the TestFlight with Companion version 2.64.6 (build 17),
I am trying to migrate the ai2 apps to iOS but have issues that extensions are not supported. The extensions i used are attached:
DynamicComponents by Yusuf Cihan;
UrsAI2Popup;
LabelPlus
Also the ActivityStarter to open Google Maps does not work, it works on Android but not in iOS (iphone 8)...it said something about no activity. I attached a screenshot of the blocks.
Any possibility that you can help fixed with the 3 Extensions above and the Google Maps?
I've published a new version of the MIT App Inventor for iOS companion on TestFlight. This is build 2.64.6 (23) and contains the following changes in the last update I posted in November:
Fixed a bad cast in the Spreadsheet component that would crash the app when reading data with credentials
Implement a feature to parse strings that look like JSON dictionaries into dictionaries when used with dictionary blocks (experimental)
Implement the Regression component for iOS
Implement the Posenet extension for iOS
Fix an issue with MultiLine support in TextBox
Fix an issue where 0 and 1 parsed from JSON would parse as false and true, respectively
Fix an issue where WriteRange of the Spreadsheet component would append rather than overwrite
Fix an issue where TinyDB values were not parsed correctly by ChartData2D's Import blocks
