Please also read earlier release notes that might affect the use of MDM for your enterprise.
Changes summary:
- Apple iOS requirements met for iOS 26 (see Apple appstore for version specifics), and can be viewed as a long term evolution edition that might also be adapted for some previous iOS releases, upon request.
- There is no need to extend local MDM schema (add new MDM keys/value pairs) to use this release, unless defaults of new features (mainly related to the navigation bar) are not fitting to your organization. Please see information regarding the different new MDM settings (see below).
- Will handle variations in iPad screen sizes with a new autoscale feature, meaning no real need to manually adapt fonts and font sizes individually to new iPads.
- Improved heartbeat stability, and enhanced payload, expecially total number of screen touches improvements.
- Minor bug fixes, among them minor memory leak associated with loading of new MDM values, and web button touches mistankenly registered on button 1 under certain events such as automatic screen resets, and removed so-called ghost touches (false touch indications).
- Local admin hub popup with app settings received from MDM system as well as default settings not overridden by the MDM system.

Date: May 2026. Text version: 1.0
- The app of version 1.2.6.7 will in the near future (for which iOS 26+release is not crystal clear) be unable to enter fullscren mode by itself, due to a change in Apple policy, but the MDM system can still force the app to enter in full screen mode in all forseeable future. Also note that Liquid Glass buttons are not used in the button bar for the 1.2.6.7 version for iOS 26 for the navigation button bar. This is due to instabilities in iOS 26 that has caused problems. Thus the menu line will remain the same as for version 18.x. Liquid Glass may be enabled in the future, as soon as those issues are solved, but liquid glass buttons use more space than the present buttons, which may force even more button text downscale and overflow menus. ↩︎
- This feature has been added to better support of inhomogenous screen sizes, so that font sizes can be directed to the biggest screen sizes in the future, relying on downscaling for smaller screens. If admin wants to keep the maximum fonts at the level of the web button original design, this can be reduced to 1, see setting MaxSclFctr. On the other hand, when adding bigger screen iPads (such as 13 inch devices), putting this space into optimal use might require an automatic font upscaling to let the navigation toolbar grow, leaving less space between web buttons and right-hand-side buttons (reset/language/local admin login). ↩︎
- The MDM identifier MaxSclFctr has been added, to allow not only downscaling, but upscaling also. This is an optional, with a reasonable maximum scaling factor (around 1.5) for font sizes being embedded into the apps default vales. ↩︎
- Although the refresh button could have been kept as a MDM-controlled optional element, this was removed to keep things as simple as possible, but can be added if you as customers demand it’s re-introduction. ↩︎
- This leak has been of no real importance for “normal” number of reads, but for several thousands of MDM reads would be somewhat noticeable in terms of memory resources allocated. ↩︎
