After yesterday’s annual Apple event, we are happy to announce that Ulysses 18 is almost ready and will be shipping with the new OSes.

Following the announcement, we now know the dates of this year’s operating system releases: iOS 13 will be out next week, but we will have to wait until September 30th for iPadOS and even until October for macOS Catalina.

As we announced back in June, our OS support update will deeply integrate with the new system features, especially on iPad. That’s why it doesn’t make much sense to release Ulysses 18 before iPadOS ships. Delaying the release for Catalina, on the other hand, would leave an almost completed update shelved for a fairly long time. So we decided to publish Ulysses 18 together with iPadOS on September 30. Until then, the current version will run just fine on iOS 13.

By the way, iOS 13.1 will also be released on September 30. Given the pretty shaky beta phase this year, you might want to hold off updating your iPhone until then.
