Will Pleco 4.0 Beta work with iPad OS 26 Developer Beta?

I want to test windowing it and simultaneously playing a game in Chinese lol

We haven't had any reports of specific problems but to be honest we're still waiting for a more final version of iOS 26 before we do anything with it because they're changing so much tuff - the next 4.0 beta is probably still going to be built with the old SDK.

Still works fine on iOS 26 as far as we know.

We ended up deciding that a lot of these windowing changes will only really make sense when we can make iPadOS 26 the minimum requirement, so we’re probably going to hold off a bit on those; frankly to the extent I’m thinking about windowing I’d rather come up with an approach that works on Mac first and then bring whatever parts of that make sense to iPad.

I know this is about the 4.0 beta and I’m still running the latest 3.x. But I’m now on iPadOs 26 and windowing seems to be working fine, in fact better than under iPadOS 18 cause pagination in the reader doesn’t seem to be breaking anymore when going to other apps and back.

Resizing is also working as expected. You can’t have multiple instances, but hey, apple’s own Books app doesn’t allow that yet either. Other than that the only thing that‘d be nice to have is the ability to flip pages using the arrow keys on the keyboard. Rn you still have to use your finger or, if on an external display, a mouse/cursor.
