8.1.8 (5221) running just fine on iPadOS 26

I’ve updated my dev iPad Pro 11" M4.

No issues with Infuse at all, all features working for me. the new '26 OS also working better than I thought.

Might be a relatively pain free beta season for devs, fingers crossed.

I look forward to the next major update so hard now: Passthrough audio is finally on the way to Apple TV

there is no confirmation that the code found related to what people think/hope it will be.
the article is full of guess work, and the “confirmation” is not backup up with any evidence.

my guess is that it relates to the iphone being used as a microphone for the tvOS karaoke function, and not audio passthru in the way people want. if it is, though, then it certainly won’t support DTS or TrueHD passthru as those require codec licencing.

Sigmund over at MacStories has confirmed it too (and he’s well connected in this space):

A new AVAudioContentSource.passthrough API is available to developers, adding the ability for the Apple TV to passthrough a high-quality audio stream in an untouched state to an audio processor or receiver further down the chain. Audio passthrough support will reportedly work on an app-by-app basis but will still require Apple to add support to tvOS for formats including, but not limited to, True HD, Auro3D, DTS, and DTS: X Profile 2.

which means it’s only DD/DD+ as most suspected it would be limited to if it was true.
considering there are no legitimate streaming providers that offer TrueHD audio, i can’t see apple adding support for it to please those that rip physical media.
