IOS update?

So I have Galimulator downloaded on both android and IOS and I find that the IOS runs a lot more smoothly than on android, and I'm really wishing that there would be an update soon. I have been waiting patiently for an update but alas there has not been one! I play this game more than I would like to admit so could you please make the update sooooon! I really want to play around with the random continent and the new monsters only for android!

I'm stuck with some to me rather strange Mac OS issues. My first problem was not being able to compile for my new device because it upgrade to iOS 10.Whatever. OK, so I'll just upgrade xcode. No, it seems that spinner is just spinning for no apparent reason ... So I'll upgrade the system and reboot. No still just spinning endlessly. What's up Mac? I google this, and apparently endless spinning is Apples way of telling you you need to upgrade your mac OS, to 10.12.whatever, which is apparently aka "Sierra". But there is no upgrade available, what gives Steve? OK so apparently my Mac Mini is supposed to be able to run Sierra, but I can't see the option to upgrade anywhere. But OK, if I search for Sierra, there is an app there, named macOS Sierra, can I try that?

So now I'm downloading some mega package to see if I'm able to upgrade. Then there will be more problems :)

The biggest hurdle is really that I don't much care for Mac, and the iOS version is not doing very well in terms of downloads. But I'm inching my way closer :)

I know I am asking a lot with this one and please forgive my impatience but do you perhaps have a guestimation of when the update will be released in the App Store?

Developer

Oh I can always guess, maybe a month from now?

Yaaaay!!! Thank you hahaha!

Would it be possible you could post here, letting me know when the update is complete heh. I don't want to miss it 🙏

Developer

OK I will try to remember that. I actually got the environment set up - so looks like I will be able to do the update!

I literally screeched with joy! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Ohhhh so many hours idling by soon hahahah!

Would you like to help me test the new update? If so, send me your email adress (the one registered to your iTunes account) and I can invite you. Seems most of my testers have lost faith and vanished :)

OK had to flip some switches apparently, how about now?

Sooooo, I have gotten the update for the IOS and I notice a couple of bugs. The whole app freezes for short periods of time, the rotation of the map feature is very glitchy and extremely sensitive. Also auto save still does not work and the auto save screen does not come up with it activated in the checklist. Also, I cannot rotate my phone so the screen rotates with it with the option active in my own phone settings, which when charging causes some uncomfortablility, and lastly it takes a huge chunk of my battery to use the app, not sure if that can be fixed or not.  So far those are the only bugs I have picked out but will keep my eyes open in any others that arise! 

Lagging and clunkiness are to be expected when dealing with something aiming to be auto-playing Dwarf Fortress IN SPACE!!!

Is their any way for me to get into the iOS  beta?
