Following an announcement at the 2024 Worldwide Developers Conference earlier this year, Apple officially released its newest operating systems, including iOS 18, on September 16.
In conjunction with this release, PSPDFKit is proud to announce the rollout of version 14 of our SDK for iOS, giving you a seamless transition to the latest mobile advancements through full support for iOS 18, macOS 15, and visionOS 2.
