AFFiNE ships stable iOS Share Extension imports while patching editor correctness and selfhost deployment

knowledge-managementios-clientself-hostedcollaborationcanary-builds
Current state
AFFiNE is releasing daily canary builds that advance the iOS client (Share Extension now stable, share-to-support in prior weeks) alongside editor reliability fixes — heading preservation in readonly mode and priority queue correctness in the block editor. Selfhost deployment is also receiving correctness fixes, indicating the self-hosted user base is growing.
Where it's heading
The consistent mobile investment suggests AFFiNE is treating iOS as a primary platform, not a secondary one. The canary cadence will harden into stable releases as mobile features reach parity; the selfhost fixes indicate a parallel push toward enterprise self-deployment alongside the consumer cloud offering.
Prediction
The next stable release will consolidate iOS Share Extension improvements; given the concurrent account-switching work, a meaningful update to multi-account or team collaboration workflows seems likely.

    AFFiNE iOS Share Extension moves to stable

    iOS Share Extension imports move from experimental to stable in this canary, making it possible to capture content from other iOS apps directly into AFFiNE workspaces. This continues the mobile-parity push that has been a consistent thread across recent canary releases.

    2026.9.13-canary.928

    Fixes an edge case in the sync engine where overlapping document priority requests were not accumulated correctly — an internal correctness fix in the nbstore layer that would affect sync consistency under concurrent edits.

    2026.9.9-canary.909

    Fixes the editor's failure to preserve expanded heading states in readonly mode — a real UX regression that caused documents shared in read-only contexts to lose their intended structure display.

    2026.9.8-canary.909

    Corrects a wrong-child comparison in the block editor's priority queue — an internal data structure bug that could produce incorrect sort order in complex documents.

    2026.9.6-canary.907

    Fixes an incorrect deployment type being set for services in the selfhost Docker Compose configuration — without this, users deploying AFFiNE via the official self-hosted compose setup would get misconfigured service roles.
