StreetComplete v64.0 ships the long-awaited stable iOS build after almost two years and completes a migration to a multiplatform UI framework. The map and its interactions were ported and the app placed on a multiplatform base, while many quest forms received a UI overhaul. Performance improvements speed up quest creation processing by about 50%. Several UI refinements include a new crosshair-based way-splitting interaction, better attach/undo behavior for tracks and images, non-clumping monochrome POI icons, predictive back gesture, a map button to return to the focused element, onboarding swipe/back tweaks, larger time pickers, and visible error state for free-text fields exceeding 255 characters. Language handling was refined (Serbian Latin restored; clearer Chinese locale labels) and numerous small visual and animation niceties were implemented.
Functionally, many new and revised quests were added: parking fee questions, “what doctors are present,” vending machine type, access rules, motorcycle parking surface, charging-station socket counts and whether cars can be charged or locked while charging. One problematic pedestrian-sidewalk quest was removed. Dozens of quest improvements target accuracy and context (permit answers for parking access, smarter crossing questions, re-survey pre-selections, step-count checks, wheelchair suitability, terraced-house building type, and more). Overlay changes restore 3D buildings and fix missing items like post boxes. The release fixes multiple crashes and UI bugs (log sharing, duplicate notes, zooming, language selection, Android-specific issues) and credits a long list of contributors for the wide-ranging updates.
