Fixes in 2.8.5 (9906)

• Fixed a crash when restoring .imazingapp files.

Fixes in 2.8.5 (9902)

• Voice memos can now be accessed on iPads running iOS 12.

Fixes in 2.8.4 (9891)

• Fixed iMazing Mini crashing if a device which was erased without signing out of Find my iPhone (activation locked) is connected

Fixes and improvements in 2.8.3 (9874)

Lots of small fixes and adjustments here, mostly following user feedback. Thanks to all of you who got in touch!

• Apps: Better handling of offloaded apps, which are now displayed like any other in iMazing
• Apps: Restore of .imazingapp files on older iOS versions
• Backup: Fixed Wi-Fi backups sometimes hanging when connection was lost
• Backup: Detection of incompatible backup locations is improved. iMazing will now prevent backing up to WD My Cloud Home devices for example - such storage devices cannot be used for direct backups unfortunately
• Calendars: Better handling of ‘absurd’ recurring event dates (every 31st of the month for instance) by clamping irrational dates
• Restore: When updating iOS with iMazing, the target device will now immediately ask for the passcode instead of doing so after the iOS installation package has been downloaded. As a consequence, iOS update/reinstall and backup restore operations should be more fire and forget than before

Fixes and improvements in 2.8.2 (9842)

• Fixed a memory leak while converting HEIC files to JPEG
• Fixed issues when exporting items with back slash characters "\" from a backup or the iOS file system
