COMPATIBILITY / VERSION + BUILD + PLATFORM

MisakaX compatibility checker: match the exact build.

Enter the identity shown by your iPhone or iPad. We route only explicit MisakaX 2.2, 2.3 and misaka26 1.6 release claims—and return Unknown or Unsupported when the evidence stops.

THE SHORT ANSWER

A nearby version is not a match.

MisakaX compatibility depends on the full iOS or iPadOS version, beta seed or build number, computer platform and chosen release channel. We never extend a boundary because a newer file exists or the app reaches a success screen.

LOCAL INPUT

Device and build

Use the full beta or RC label. BuildVersion is optional for broad stable ranges, but it becomes decisive at narrow boundaries.

Your values stay in this page URL. No USB access, file upload, fingerprinting or device scan is used.

HOW TO READ A RESULT

Compatible is a release claim—not the final outcome.

The checker separates four decisions that are often compressed into one word.

01 / RANGE

Does a release name this version?

If not, the result stops. A newer adjacent beta is not inherited.

02 / CHANNEL

Stable, prerelease or Unstable?

GitHub “Latest” metadata does not erase the title chosen by the maintainer.

03 / PLATFORM

Is the matching computer file attached?

MisakaX 2.3 is macOS-only. Linux has no official family release here.

04 / OUTCOME

Did the actual feature work?

Restore, reboot, visible setting and functional result are separate checkpoints.

WHY “SUCCESS” IS NOT SUPPORT

The app can finish while the feature does nothing.

Issue reports are community outcomes, not universal rates. They are useful because they show which stage must be verified after a release match.

LEGACY BOUNDARY / ISSUE #362

18.1 support was disputed before 2.3 shipped.

The issue explains that SparseRestore was patched at beta 5 and that the old build path no longer applied changes. The later 2.3 prerelease is treated as a separate dated claim—not retroactive proof for 2.2.

Read the boundary discussion
MATCHED RANGE / ISSUE #115

Reboot and “success” still lacked the settings.

A Windows user reported that misaka26 rebooted after Apply, yet Apple Intelligence and Always-On Display remained absent. This separates process completion from observed feature outcome.

Read the no-effect report
OUTSIDE RANGE / ISSUE #370

Repeated Apply did not extend compatibility.

An iOS 26.5 beta 2 user reported clean reboots with no Apple Intelligence result after several attempts. That build is outside the official 26.2 beta 1 ceiling.

AFTER A MATCH

Prepare the matching computer branch.

Platform dependencies and permissions change, but the device-specific MobileGestalt and exact-build rules do not.

PLATFORM / 01

macOS

Use the matching macOS artifact from the chosen release. The 2.3 legacy prerelease is macOS-only.

  • Move the documented app artifact to Applications when the release instructs it.
  • If Gatekeeper blocks it, follow the repository’s xattr -c / Privacy & Security “Open Anyway” notes.
  • Connect, unlock and trust the device before verification.

COMPATIBILITY QUESTIONS

MisakaX versions, builds and platforms.

Direct answers for iOS 18.1, 18.2, 26.2 and later, plus Windows, macOS, Linux and success-with-no-effect cases.

What iOS versions does MisakaX support?

There is no single range for every release. MisakaX 2.2 is the public stable-labelled route for iOS/iPadOS 16.0 through 18.0 final, with conflicting beta 3/beta 4 wording for 18.1. MisakaX 2.3 is a macOS-only prerelease for 18.1 beta 5 through 18.2 beta 2. The separate misaka26 1.6 Unstable release claims 16.0 through 26.1 plus 26.2 beta 1.

Does MisakaX work on iOS 18.1?

The exact release channel matters. MisakaX 2.2 conflicts with itself at the beta 4 edge, while 2.3 explicitly begins at beta 5 and ends at 18.2 beta 2 on macOS. For 18.1 final and other later 18.1 builds, only the separate misaka26 1.6 release makes a current broad claim, and it is named Unstable.

Does MisakaX 2.2 support iOS 18.0.1?

The official 2.2 changelog names 18.0 final, not 18.0.1. A later technical issue refers to 18.0.1 as the historical working side of the 18.1 patch boundary, but that is not a maintainer test ledger. The checker therefore returns a documentation gap instead of an automatic release action.

Does MisakaX work on iOS 18.2?

MisakaX 2.3 explicitly claims only 18.2 beta 1 and beta 2, and only publishes a macOS binary. Do not extend that claim to beta 3, RC or 18.2 final. misaka26 1.6 makes a broader official claim that includes later iOS 18 builds, but its release is labelled Unstable.

Does misaka26 support iOS 26.2?

Only iOS/iPadOS 26.2 beta 1 is named by the official 1.6 release. Beta 2, later betas and 26.2 final are outside that published boundary. Build 23C5027f identifies the first beta; do not shorten it to “26.2” when checking.

Does misaka26 work on iOS 26.3, 26.4, 26.5 or iOS 27?

No official misaka26 release claims those versions. The current public boundary stops at 26.2 beta 1. Later issue reports include reboot-with-no-effect behavior, which is a reason to stop—not evidence that repeated Apply attempts will eventually work.

Does MisakaX work on Windows?

MisakaX 2.2 and misaka26 1.6 publish Windows files. MisakaX 2.3 does not; its attached application is macOS-only. A Windows file existing does not override the version/build boundary.

Does MisakaX work on macOS?

Yes, all three public routes compared here publish a macOS application: MisakaX 2.2, the 2.3 prerelease and misaka26 1.6 Unstable. You still need the release whose exact system range matches the device.

Is there an official MisakaX version for Linux?

No official MisakaX 2.x or misaka26 release currently publishes a Linux binary. The checker returns Unsupported for Linux rather than redirecting to an unofficial build. If Linux is mandatory, compare related tools separately because their feature ranges do not transfer to MisakaX.

Why does the checker ask for a build number?

Marketing versions can contain several beta seeds, an RC and a final release with different patch status. BuildVersion identifies that exact seed. It is especially important around 18.1 beta 4/5, 18.2 beta 2/3 and 26.2 beta 1/2.

Can I check MisakaX compatibility without a BuildVersion?

Yes for a broad, unambiguous stable range, but the result has lower precision. Enter BuildVersion whenever you are on a beta, RC, documentation-conflict edge or a version whose first beta is supported but later seeds are not. If the checker returns Unknown, do not remove the build just to force a match.

Where can I find my iOS build number?

Open Settings, choose General, then About, and read the iOS or iPadOS Version entry. Tap the version value when needed to reveal the build identifier. Copy both the full version label and BuildVersion from the same current device state.

Does MisakaX support iPad and iPadOS?

The official release ranges name both iOS and iPadOS, so the checker accepts iPad as a device family. That does not make every iPhone-oriented flag meaningful on an iPad. Match the system build first, then verify that the selected capability documents an iPad outcome and revert path.

Does a compatibility match mean every feature will work on my iPhone?

No. The result matches a published release range and platform. Hardware, device model, region, selected flag and the final functional test are separate gates. A visible setting can appear while a sensor-dependent or server-side feature remains unavailable.

Does a success message prove that my build is supported?

No. Success may describe file preparation or restore completion, not the final feature result. Public issue reports show devices rebooting after a success message while the requested settings remain absent, including on later unsupported builds.

If the MobileGestalt Shortcut works, is my build compatible?

No. Extraction only proves that you obtained an input file. It does not prove that the selected release can write or restore the change on that build. Import, Apply, reboot, setting visibility and functional behavior remain separate stages.

Can the checker detect my connected iPhone or read my MobileGestalt file?

No. It runs locally in the browser using only the fields you submit. It does not use USB, upload a plist, inspect device hardware or silently scan the browser. The result is a release-routing decision, not a device test.

Why is MisakaX 3.0 beta not in the checker?

The developer distributes 3.0 beta as a separate unfinished test build, but the public listing does not provide a release/build matrix precise enough for this conservative router. It remains outside the automatic result until the track has an unambiguous range, channel and matching platform files.

KEEP THE RESULT ATTACHED TO THE ENVIRONMENT

Match first. Download second.

When a release route appears, open that exact project-owner release and keep your ProductVersion, BuildVersion, device and platform with the decision. If the checker stops, do not replace evidence with a mirror or a nearby build.
