Compatible Platforms
Docker installations needs to be running compatible versions across all client applications (ie. iPadOS, 3D Applications, etc.)
It’s important to note the following:
- The docker instance must be updated to 3.0.1 before any client applications are updated. Web/API’s for docker version 2.8 and earlier WILL NOT be compatible with client applications running 3.0 or above. It is NOT FORWARD COMPATIBLE.
- Example: If a docker instance is running Version 2.8 and the users update their client applications to version 3.0, there are so many breaking changes that we would not expect the applications to run without encountering multiple errors.
- If a Docker instance is running Version 3.0.1 and the client applications are still running on version 2.8 – please expect the following:
- Templates created on Manifest iPadOS or 3D will automatically be published
- Any user with Author permissions can Edit a Published Template and these edits will be automatically updated to the published version
- Only Published Templates will be available in Manifest iPadOS and 3D applications. (Templates with Status: Draft, Submitted, Approved, and Rejected) will NOT display.
