Security improvements for links, downloads and imported projects. iPadOS Requirement hyperPad now requires iPadOS 15 or later. Plus 100+ more fixes and improvements.

Also, only 2.8 for the hub has been released. The hyperPad app and hyperPad starter are stuck waiting for apples review. Can you try testing your project in the hyperPad hub 2.8 from the app store.

It has been submitted to apple and we're waiting for their review.

Hmmm, this is pretty good idea. I think this can be split into 2 uses. Make a project setting of supported devices. This shares to the hub, and when you play it in the hub it also preserves the device it is desiged for (I think in this case it should auto default to the one closest to your current aspect ratio). An editor setting, to automatically select the desired aspect ratio when running the project from the editor. This way you can quickly test with out always having to switch aspect ratios. Of course in both situations the available aspect ratios will be selectable from the in game menu as it is now. Does this idea solve your problem?
