    Hi,

     

    As far as I remember, if next version of iOS/Android implements some breaking changes, than support for it is added in the next major or minor upgrade of TestComplete. In the worst case it might take SmartBear to skip one or two TestComplete updates to implement proper support for the new OS version.

     

    So, generic procedure applies: do not hurry to upgrade all your devices to the latest version immediately. Upgrade one for testing and check whether or not TestComplete still can drive your device.

Thanks for the reply Alex.  We will wait for the next Test Complete update.

Just to double-check: do I get it right that the latest TC 12.41 has problems with iOS 11.1 ?

    It appears so.  We are currently on 12.41.2879.7 x86.  With iOS 11.1, when we try to connect to the device using the 'Mobile Screen' button, it comes back with a message:  "The OS version is newer than the supported versions.  Probably, you need to update TestComplete".  If you use the dropdown on that view screen to try and deploy the application, it comes up right away with "Unable to install the iOS application from the archive file".
