Libgcrypt 1.12 (LTS) released.
This release starts a new stable branch of #Libgcrypt with full API and
ABI compatibility to the 1.11 series. Since the last major release
Jussi Kivilinna put again a lot of work into speeding up the algorithms
for modern CPUs. Niibe-san implemented new APIs and algorithms and
adjusted the interface for new FIPS requirements.

Hi,

@GnuPG @todd_a_jacobs @letsencrypt I pay for well-written #FOSS software on #iOS all the time. There's nothing that I know of that would prevent #GnuPG itself or their commercial relatives from releasing an #iOS version based on #libgcrypt, other than the scarcity of developer resources of course.
There's definitely a gap in the #OpenPGP ecosystem for trustworthy iOS and #iPadOS apps. Might be something to consider for the future to fund continued development of GnuPG!
@GnuPG @todd_a_jacobs @todd_a_jacobs @letsencrypt AFAICT, the App Store version is 2021.4, and there have been a lot of CVEs and improvements in #GPG since then. I'm reluctant to rely on outdated software, esp. if its #libgcrypt or #ObjectivePGP haven't been updated since 2021 by the developer (listed as Luca Naef).
I'm not an Apple or #Swift developer. The code is GPLv3, so it could be forked if unmaintained.
Please do not use 1.9.0 but use the just released 1.9.1. There is a severe bug in 1.9.0 which was found yesterday. 1.8 versions are safe. Details will follow today. (#gnupg, #libgcrypt, #cve).
