48.1

Known Issue

There is a hang issue using menus on iPadOS 26.0 with an external keyboard connected, and the action bar visible. This is a system-level issue. We are still trying to find a permanent workaround, but also it seems Apple has fixed this issue in the iPadOS 26.1 beta. For more details on this issue and workarounds, see this post

Cannot install 48.1 from AppStore. Installation starts but never finishes. Tried on iMac with standard release of macOS 26 and on Macbook with macOS (beta) 26.1.

macOS Tahoe 26.1 developer beta, when installed, resolves the App Store issue with installing Drafts. I successfully installed Drafts after installing the macOS beta, a few minutes ago.

Thanks for your answer. As I wrote my Macbook runs om macOS 26.1 public beta and installation stalls on this machine.

Good to hear that problem seemed to be fixed. Will wait for next Drafts dot-release.
