emmrecs01 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 As a very recent purchaser of an iPad and the Affinity iPad apps, reading this thread has left me a little confused! I have installed the latest version of Designer from the App Store; the splash screen shows it as being version 1.9.0, but the "Preferences/Settings" screen shows it to be 1.9.3. Which is "correct"? (Screenshot below). TIA.

Which is "correct"? Well spotted, Jeff! It seems that someone has dropped a digit or two: the current beta version of APh on iPad is 1.9.1 (build 1.9.1.223) but TestFlight reports the current beta version of AD as “Version 1.9.1 (1.9.22)”. All retail versions of the Affinity apps are currently at 1.9.0, but I understand that 1.9.1 is due to be released to retail very soon.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted February 24, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 24, 2021 the iPad store insist you increment the build number each time you submit. Photo has the best approach and has incremented a 4th number, but Designer has always incremented the 3rd. The Mac App Store is the same, but the about box shows the "common" name we refer to (1.9.0, 1.9.1). its not really a problem, just a bit confusing Alfred and AllAppsUser 1 1 Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!
