AppStudio 9.4.7 has been released! It has a couple of new features which have been requested by users, as well as bug fixes.

The Project Explorer Find feature now lets you find forms and controls quickly in large projects.

1. Camera: Common Camera no longer loads an external library.
2. Design Screen: Loss of focus and freezes fixed.
3. Project Explorer: Search field added for forms and controls.
4. Samples: Remove obsolete GoogleGemini sample.
5. VoltBuilder Status: Download log together with output file.
6. Updated numerous libraries

Notes
To use the new Cameral control, delete the existing control from your project and add the new one. Your project will get a bit smaller and will no longer need to load the fontawesome external library.

Thanks to the dedicated users who helped us solve the very long standing Design Screen issue!

We’ve been using the new versions in house for a few weeks. So far, we have not run into any difficulties.

AppStudio runs properly on MacOS 26. The only tweak we will make is to the app’s icon: its appearance can be improved. This will be in the next build.

We’re not seeing any significant changes with AppStudio generated apps when running on iOS 26. Both web apps and native apps run well.
