What's New in AmbientCast
1.6.1
October 7, 2026
Fixes a crash on Mac. AmbientCast runs on Apple Silicon Macs as an iPad app, and there, opening Settings — or Manage Printers and Cameras, or Add Printer — quit the app instantly. It had been doing that since 1.4.3. Every one of those screens opens properly now. Makes iCloud sync read everything. When fetching what your other devices have published, the app took only the first batch the server sent and treated it as the whole list. Nothing is visible today with a handful of printers and cameras, but it would quietly have started missing things as that list grew.
