MABS 12.1 beta: SPM, Native Splash Screens & Xcode 26.3
24 June 2026

We're excited to announce a Beta version of the MABS 12.1. This new version of MABS is built with Xcode 26.3, aligning iOS builds with the latest Apple toolchain and iOS SDK.
The following updates are introduced for applications built with Capacitor:
- Swift Package Manager (iOS) - Swift Package Manager (SPM) for iOS Capacitor mobile applications eliminates the build friction for plugins that rely on Swift libraries. Configurable via an opt-in extensibility configuration in ODC studio. Please review the release notes for any plugin version updates required for SPM support.
- Native Splash Screens - A native splash screen for Capacitor apps on iOS and Android that improves on a web-based startup experience to native. Configurable via the new app properties experience in ODC studio.
Per the MABS versions lifecycle, when MABS 12.1 reaches GA, the previous version, 12.0, will be deprecated and become obsolete. We encourage you to use this Beta period to test these new updates in your mobile applications.
