Details

• Bugfix - Fix recursive copy in File Provider: #1557

  This PR fixes an issue where trying to copy and paste a whole folder hierarchy
  into the File Provider could render inconsistent and incomplete results.

  #1557

• Bugfix - Prevent accidental dismissal of markup UI via pinch gesture: #1560

  Prevents the accidental dismissal of markup UI via pinch gesture.

  #1560

• Bugfix - Fix infinite icon loading retries: #1573

  Fixes an infinite loop trying to load the icon of a web app if that icon does
  not exist.

  #1573

• Bugfix - Support for additional Drive ID formats: #1577

  This PR adds OCVault support for Drive IDs in formats other than the standard
  oCIS-format (like f.ex.
  166d1210-cdb9-50ab-9f1e-ecb9ef12a304$2e81b56f-9284-409a-9dd0-364604df62ce) or
  that are longer than supported by APFS (defined by iOS as NAME_MAX, currently
  255):

  • Drive IDs matching /^[A-Za-z0-9\\-\\$]{1,}$/ and shorter than
    NAME_MAX are kept as-is, keeping the vault structure backwards-compatible
  • Drive IDs not matching that regex are transparently base64-en-/decoded before
    use
  • Drive IDs longer than NAME_MAX (before or after base64-encoding) are
    replaced with their SHA-256 checksum, while preserving the original Drive ID in
    a new metadata.plist file at the root level of the respective drive's folder
    in the vault

  Furthermore this PR:

  • rejects nameless OCItems in WebDAV responses, returning an OCError instead
  • verifies an item's parent folder location before removing it from the vault

  #1577

• Enhancement - Configuration options for in-app web-app URL opening: #1572

  Adds a new option action.in-app-web-app-link-open-mode to allow configuring
  behavior when in-app web apps want to open a URL in a new window.

  Possible values:

  • with-default-browser: ask the user if the link should be opened in the default browser (default)
  • navigate: ask the user if the in-app browser hosting the web apps should navigate to the link
  • choice: ask the user whether to delegate link opening to the default browser or perform an in-app navigation
  • deny: deny opening the link and tell the user
  • silent-deny: silently deny opening the link (effectively turning it into a no-op) and log a debug message (not including the URL)

  #1572

Release Version 12.7.0 (May 2026)

Summary

• Enhancement - Adopt and integrate ocis/web icons: #1525

  This PR adds automation infrastructure and an accompanying TVG format update to

  Branding support ocis/web uses variables and a mapping table to associate icons
  with suffixes and allow adjusting colors using CSS variables. This PR translates
  that structure to the native iOS app and also integrates it into its own CSS
  system. The colors of icons can therefore be changed through its CSS system.
