Hi Thunkers,

I used Taifun’s battery management extension to get battery charge status in AI2, but AI2’s fabled iOS version seems no nearer now than it did two years ago. I have given up waiting.

So, I turned to Thunkable X to start an iOS project but now it seems that Taifun’s extensions cannot be used here. So, I’m stuck now anyway…unless you happen to know how I get get battery status data out of Thunkable X?

Thanks to all.

Hi,

[https://developer.mozilla.org/ru/docs/Web/API/Navigator/getBattery](https://developer.mozilla.org/ru/docs/Web/API/Navigator/getBattery)

But you can use a function that is not recommended at your own risk as in this example. On my Android 9 in Live it works
