Affinity V1 Suite, Updates on All Platforms [1.10.6 on Windows, 1.10.7 on iOS & 1.10.8 on macOS]

[Patrick Connor]

We are pleased to announce version 1.10.6/7/8 updates for the Affinity Suite on all platforms.

Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo and Affinity Publisher (on macOS, Windows, and iOS) had all recently been affected by recent operating system releases such as the launch of macOS Ventura, iOS 16 and Windows 10 and 11 updates. We have mitigated some of these in the 1.10.6 patches of all applications on all platforms. The changes fix/avoid the problems introduced by operating system changes thus returning earlier functionality.

If you are using Windows 10 or 11, macOS Ventura (13.x) or iOS 16 then we recommend installing these updates. Other supported operating systems can install the update without issue, but they have no specific advantages/fixes over 1.10.5 for your OS.

If you are on macOS Sonoma, the  the 1.10.8 patch has a specific fix we would recommend you get

• 1.10.8 (on macOS only) is a single fix patch to address this Light UI issue on Sonoma

UPDATING TO THIS VERSION (for existing V1 customers)

Updates on macOS for Affinity Store Purchases

The software version can be seen on the splash screen and the About dialog (in application menu, for example Affinity Photo > About...).

If you’ve purchased from the Affinity Store— each time you start the software it will check for updates and offer to download and install any available update, or in the application main menu there is an option Check for Updates. You can download the latest installer by logging into the affinity store here and find the order in your account and use the "download" button in there. 

Alternatively the full Affinity Store installers are also available here:

Updates on macOS through the Mac App Store

The software version can be seen on the splash screen and the About dialog (in application menu for example, Affinity Photo > About...).

If you’ve purchased from the Mac App Store— updates are done automatically next time you run your software after it is available in the Mac App Store. If this does not happen for you, open the Mac App Store app and go to the Updates page and then Store > Reload page or press CMD+R. This should hopefully force the update to show. Apple sometimes phase roll outs around the world which can mean it may take up to 72 hours for your update to be available.

Updates on Windows for Affinity Store Purchases

The software version can be seen on the splash screen and the About dialog (for example in Help > About...).

Updates on Windows through the Microsoft Store

The software version can be seen on the splash screen and the About dialog (for example in Help > About...).

If you’ve purchased from the Microsoft Store— Microsoft Store updates are done automatically by the operating system (each time you start the application). If this does not happen for you, open the Windows Store app and click the three dots in the top right corner of the app and then go to Downloads and Updates. Click Get Updates. This should hopefully force the update to show.

=========================================================================

Updates on iPads

The software version can be seen on the corner of Preferences screen.

Your Affinity iPad apps should update automatically next time you run them. However, you do need to be logged in with the same Apple ID you used to buy them.

If the automatic update does not happen for you, go to the iPad App Store app and go to Updates. Once you’re there, tap near the top of the screen where it states 'Updates' and then hold, pull down and then release. This should manually refresh the updates page. However, don’t contact us if the updates are not available for you yet—Apple sometimes phase roll outs around the world and this can take up to 24 hours.
