Claris FileMaker Go is available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. For more information about the new features and changes shared with FileMaker Pro, see FileMaker Pro Release Notes.
Version 21.1.1 – November 2024
New features and enhancements
-
This release adds support for iOS and iPadOS 18.
Note This version of FileMaker Go won't install on iOS or iPadOS 16 or earlier. You must upgrade to a later version of iOS or iPadOS before you can install this version of FileMaker Go. For the supported versions of iOS and iPadOS, see Claris FileMaker 2024 Technical Specifications.
-
When using FileMaker Go on an iPad that supports Stage Manager, you can now scan barcodes while FileMaker Go is in a window instead of only when it's full screen.
-
With support for Live Text in the Arabic language added in iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS 15 Sequoia, the GetLiveText and GetLiveTextAsJSON functions now support language codes "ar-SA" and "ars-SA" as well.
-
Building iOS apps using the iOS App SDK for FileMaker 21.1.1 requires at a minimum the iOS SDK available for Xcode 16.
Addressed issues
-
After you clicked Sign in to FileMaker Cloud and the my.claris.com page appeared, if you went to the Home screen or switched to another app then returned to FileMaker Go (for example, to get a two-step verification code), the My Apps screen was displayed rather than the my.claris.com page, which could have prevented you from signing in.
-
In a popover with content that required scrolling to view, the off-screen content was cut off when attempting to scroll it into view on devices with small screens or when zoomed in.
-
When connecting to a FileMaker Server host that has the Filter databases in client applications option turned on, after exceeding the maximum number of sign-in attempts, FileMaker Go displayed a generic connection error message. Now, the error message explains that the account is locked and to try again in a few minutes.
-
In FileMaker Go, the Execute FileMaker Data API script step was very slow when accessing data in container fields. This caused the Photo Gallery add-on to display images very slowly.
-
Within a transaction, when the Show Custom Dialog script step was used, closing the custom dialog reverted the transaction.
-
When using the Insert from Device script step with the Insert from option set to Barcode, FileMaker Go scanned QR codes even when the QR Code barcode type was not selected.
-
When using the Insert File script step to insert a source file larger than 1 MB into a variable as the target, the file wasn't available in the variable in later steps.
-
After FileMaker Go was given full access to the iOS or iPadOS Photo Library and an image from the Photo Library was inserted into a container field, the GetContainerAttribute function didn't return values for the photo attributes of the image.
