■ Squashed several audio-related crashes (Core Audio, you keep me humble) ■ Reduced CPU usage while VoiceOver is active from "space heater" to "reasonable" ■ Fixed app rotation misbehaving on iOS 26 ■ Tutorial is now a bit more forgiving on iPads ■ Smoother barrier animations ■ Credits names scroll more consistently across devices ■ iPad improvements: better text scaling, nicer store layout, fixed layout on iPad Mini, fixed clipped launch image on those new giant iPads ■ Updated many localizations to be more complete!

■ Fixed a crash for players playing with the grid ■ Fixed wormhole transitions back to the grid (once again buttery smooth) ■ Fixed lots of little delays while moving about the game ■ Attempted to fix another audio crash (when will it end?)

This release fixes a few things that broke in a recent refactor (thank you to Bennett for flagging these!) ■ Fixed hints not being navigable by Voice Over ■ Fixed Notification settings changes not saving if toggled via Voice Over ■ Added new rotor for navigating lights via their challenge numbers ■ Simplified Voice Over descriptions of lights and light groups on the grid

■ Quick fix to the top two green challenge! Should be more reliable and easier to see complete now once you uh… do the uh… thing…

■ Rebuilt the two green challenge in the top-right (challenge type 30). It’s solved a bit differently now and should be clearer after recent iOS changes… ■ Fixed a bug with the one orange meta challenge in the bottom-left (challenge type 49). If you’ve had trouble with that one before please give it another try! ■ Rebuilt the alert cards shown in the game (thanks for the assist Pim!). A solid 2/3rds of Blackbox’s code is Swift now! Hooray for me! ■ Fixed an issue with VoiceOver rotors on the home grid ■ Fixed a bug with app icon translations

Fixes! Some big, some small, all made with love to keep your frustration friction-free ■ Fixed a blue meta challenge that had become *nearly* impossible to solve due to an iOS 18 update ■ Fixed the appearance of the four orange challenge on the last two generations of devices ■ Rebuilt all panel interfaces for smoother animations and interactions ■ Fixed some accessibility interfaces like rotors on the home grid ■ Lots of other visual tweaks and fixes

Hot-hot-hot-fix ■ Did you know that some computers are case-sensitive and other ones are not? Anyway it’s totally unrelated to why two puzzles no longer crash!

■ Restored sparkles to unplayed challenges ■ Added a new nudge to pick the phone up for players that start with the phone docked or flat on a table ■ Fixed a bug where sometimes the lights on the grid were briefly visible before the tutorial ■ Improved launch speed of QR based challenges

Hello? You there? Why won’t you pick-up the phone when I call? Oh you did but you’re listening in with Live Voicemail?… you and your gadgets… anyway I’m calling to tell you that “that” bug is “fixed” now. You’ll have to get a little more …creative but it ain’t so broke no more, capiche?
