Product Enhancements

Convert Additional Objective-C Classes to Swift in the iOS App (MFA-123)

Updated numerous classes used in the iOS App to use Swift instead of Objective-C.

Update the Form Data File Local Storage Area to Be Separate for Each Company for Multi-Company Users in the iOS App (MFA-132)

Updated the local storage area for Form Data Files to be separate for each Company that a Multi-Company User activates on in the Mobile Forms App to prevent accidental overwriting of Form Data Files with the same name used across multiple Companies.

Update Datasource Regions to Dynamically Re-Size the List Width Based on Longest Value in the iOS App (MFA-140)

Updated Datasource Regions to dynamically re-size the drop-down list width based on longest value in the iOS App. The iPhone display has width restrictions for longer values so turning the Device to landscape mode will reveal more text than portrait mode.

Replace Back Buttons with Back Arrow Icons throughout the UI in the iOS App (MFA-152)

Replaced the Back buttons with Back arrow icons throughout the UI in the iOS App for both iPads and iPhones.

Update the iOS App to Fix the Mobile Forms App UI 2.0 Discrepancies and Issues (MFA-188)

Fixed UI discrepancies that originally started when the Mobile Forms App UI 2.0 was implemented in the iOS App. This cleanup effort includes addressing the Folder Selector and Search field not being anchored at the top of each Main Menu section, bookmarking working correctly between Main Menu sections, adding the Most Recently Used option to the Sort By options in the Blank Forms section, plus many other minor UI changes to enhance the User experience.

Update the Datasource Region Drop-Down List UI and Update the SQL Datasource Single Value Mapping UI in the iOS App (MFA-194)

Updated the Datasource Region drop-down list UI to use squared edges and updated the SQL Datasource single value Mapping UI to show the proper Region settings (i.e. Search, Add New Value) when filling out Forms in the iOS App for both iPads and iPhones.

Bug Fixes

Investigate and Fix Issues with the iPadOS 26 Numeric Keyboard for iPads in the iOS App (MFA-187)

Changed the Numeric Region keyboard for iPads that have upgraded to iPadOS 26 to use the original keyboard instead of the new floating keyboard in the iOS App.

Investigate and Fix Case Sensitivity Issue with .setFontColor() Script Call Using Color Name Strings in the iOS App (MFA-189)

Fixed an issue with case sensitivity when using color name strings instead of hexadecimal values when calling the Region.setFontColor() in Script in the iOS App.
