This is a release that updates the underlying .NET framework to a newer version and fixes a wrong Dutch translation.
What’s New¶
In version 12.0, we switched the application to the .NET MAUI (Multi-platform App UI) framework, running on .NET v8. This was necessary to keep the application up to date and compatible with the latest version of Xcode, the development environment from Apple we use to build the application and need to submit it to the App Store.
Unfortunately, trying to jump to .NET v9 right away, we faced some issues we could not resolve at that time. So we had to delay that upgrade of the .NET framework to a later release.
However, unlike Android, there was no real issue building and submitting our application to the App Store with .NET v8 being a Long-Term Support (LTS) release that would have been supported for quite a long time more. Since Google forced us to migrate to .NET v9 and all libraries and controls used in the application were compatible with .NET v9 and, most importantly, we found solutions for the issues we faced until now, it was the right time to update the LionsBase mobile application for iOS and iPadOS to .NET v9 as well.
This update does not introduce any new features or changes to the user interface. The application remains fully compatible with iOS and iPadOS 14 and later versions, and it continues to work as expected on all supported devices.
Other Changes¶
In addition, a few bugs have been squashed and minor enhancements integrated:
a Dutch translation has been corrected;
various internal libraries have been upgraded.
Note
From a technical standpoint, this version of the LionsBase mobile application is supposed to be compatible with iOS 14 and later and iPadOS 14 and later. However, we only have devices and simulators for iOS/iPadOS 18 and later. Since we cannot test the application on iOS/iPadOS 14, 15, 16 and 17, we cannot guarantee that it will work properly on these versions of iOS and iPadOS and you are advised to upgrade your device to iOS/iPadOS 18 or later if you want to use this version of the LionsBase mobile application. iOS 18 is supported on devices as old as the iPhone 11, from 6 years ago, and iPadOS 18 on devices as old as the ones sold back in 2018.
