misaka26 supported builds—and where support stops.

The official misaka26 repository and 1.6 release claim iOS/iPadOS 16.0 through 26.1, plus exactly 26.2 beta 1. The release does not claim 26.2 beta 2, 26.2 final, 26.3, 26.4, 26.5 or iOS 27.

Those versions sit inside the broad official 1.6 range, but legacy MisakaX can be the more conservative route for an older build. A range match also does not make every feature available: each feature has its own minimum system, model and hardware requirements.

Both versions are inside the official 1.6 range. The related bl_sbx proof of concept says its write path is compatible through 26.2 beta 1 and was tested on an iPhone 12 running 26.0.1. That technical test supports the boundary; it does not prove every misaka26 feature or device outcome.

Yes as an official release claim. Apple identifies 23B85 as the iOS/iPadOS 26.1 release build, and misaka26 1.6 explicitly includes 26.1. The app remains named Unstable, and the final feature result still needs to be verified.

Yes as the exact published upper boundary. Apple identifies 23C5027f as iOS 26.2 beta 1, the misaka26 1.6 release names that beta, and the related bl_sbx proof of concept says 26.2 beta 1 and below are compatible.

Use both fields together. Build 23C5027f is the exact iOS/iPadOS 26.2 beta 1 build named at the compatibility ceiling. A generic 26.2 label without that build is not enough to classify beta 1, beta 2, RC or final as the same system state.

No official misaka26 release claims beta 2. The published boundary is beta 1, not the whole 26.2 beta cycle. Do not remove the beta number or reuse 23C5027f to force a match.

No official release names either build. Both are later than the explicit 26.2 beta 1 ceiling. A Shortcut still being able to export MobileGestalt does not prove that misaka26 can write the edited data back.

No. iOS 26.3 is outside the 1.6 range. Later issue and community discussions ask for 26.3 support or report that extraction survived an update while Apply support did not; neither signal extends the release boundary.

No. The official ceiling remains 26.2 beta 1. Issue #362 reports an iPhone 16 on 26.4 beta 1 rebooting without the requested Always-On Display option appearing, which is a no-effect report—not a new support route.

No current public misaka26 release claims either version. Issue #370 records repeated Apple Intelligence attempts on 26.5 beta 2 that rebooted without applying the feature. Repeating Apply on a later unsupported build does not move the compatibility ceiling.

GitHub marks 1.6 as the normal Latest release and its API says it is not a prerelease. The maintainer chose “misaka26 - 1.6 Unstable” as the release name. Latest describes GitHub routing; Unstable describes the developer’s own risk label. Both are relevant.

No evidence supports that assumption. Every public release from 1.0 through 1.6 is named Unstable, and versions 1.0 through 1.3 are additionally marked “DON’T USE” or “HIGH RISK” in the release index. Do not downgrade the app to escape the warning.

The public repository is not archived, but the latest public binary and repository update we can verify are from November 19, 2025. That record does not prove the project is abandoned or actively supported. Until a newer official release changes the range, 26.2 beta 1 remains the published ceiling.

Yes as a platform attachment. The 1.6 release publishes a dedicated Windows archive as well as a macOS archive. Platform availability does not override the iPhone or iPad build boundary, and individual features can still have different platform notes.

The official changelog says Intel Mac support was present by 1.3 and an Intel crash was fixed in 1.4. The current 1.6 release publishes one macOS archive rather than separate architecture files, so verify your actual launch and feature path instead of treating the filename as a complete architecture matrix.

The official 1.6 page conflicts at the feature level: its current TrollPad line says macOS is required, while the v1.3 changelog says TrollPad Windows and Intel Mac support was added. We do not turn that conflict into a confirmed Windows TrollPad claim. It does not change the fact that the overall 1.6 app has a Windows file.

The official range names both iOS and iPadOS. That makes iPadOS part of the release claim, but an iPhone identity spoof, TrollPad mode or another capability still has its own model and recovery risks. Do not use another device’s MobileGestalt file.

No. Extraction reads and exports an input. Compatibility requires the separate write/apply path to work on the exact build. Import, Apply, reboot, setting visibility and the final feature result are all later checkpoints.

A success message can describe restore preparation or process completion rather than the final capability. Issue #115 reports a Windows Apply that said success and rebooted, yet Apple Intelligence and Always-On Display remained missing. Re-check the exact build first, then diagnose the feature instead of repeatedly applying.

No. The overall range only routes the release. The official feature list gives different minimum versions—for example iOS 26.0+ for PWM and SRD mode, iOS 18.0+ for Always-On Display, and a much narrower range for the TrollStore Installer. Hardware and region can narrow the outcome further.

No. misaka26 is a desktop customization utility that works with device-specific MobileGestalt data and a version-bounded write path. It does not create a general jailbreak environment for arbitrary tweak injection.

Not through the official workflow. The Shortcut helps generate MobileGestalt input, but the official 1.6 release provides macOS and Windows desktop applications for import and Apply. A website or IPA claiming to replace that workflow is a separate, unverified product.

This page does not recommend downgrading. Signing windows expire, downgrade paths can erase data, and old advice can become impossible. Preserve the exact current build and use only a route that is explicitly supported now.

Do not assume an applied customization or the ability to reapply it survives an update. Record the current ProductVersion, BuildVersion and changes before updating, revert when the feature workflow calls for it, then check the destination build independently. Any build later than 26.2 beta 1 is outside the current misaka26 claim.
