It came to my attention lately, thanks to a helpful comment on [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/RemarkableTablet/s/nROhTKTeaJ?ref=simplykyra.com), that there was a critical issue on iOS where selecting an image from the Photo Library could cause the sheet to repeatedly open and close if permissions hadn’t yet been granted. That’s now fixed in version 1.0.11! 

Thank you so much for sharing what you run into... it truly makes a difference!

## 🛠️ What’s Fixed

If you’ve ever selected an image from your Photo Library and found the sheet stuck in an endless open and close loop… this update is for you.

Version 1.0.11 uses `PhotosUI` to request access in a more stable way thus resolving the issue and keeping the app responsive.

### **💻 Bonus: Mac Catalyst Now Supports Photo Library**

While fixing this bug, I discovered that the new method I’m using to access the Photo Library also works on Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 11 (Big Sur) or beyond.

If this applies to you, you can now browse and select images from your Photos library in addition to the Finder!

> 📝 Not sure which version of macOS you’re using? Click the Apple icon in the top-left of your screen, choose `About This Mac`, and look next to “macOS” to find your version.

If you're curious what version of MacOS you're running hit the Apple in the top left, hit "About this Mac", and look beside macOS.

### **🧪 Also Tested: reMarkable 3.20 Beta (Paper Pro)**

Coincidentally, my Paper Pro updated to the 3.20 beta the night before. I ran a few basic tests and was happy to see that *Simply Customize It* continued to work as expected.

I want to note that it does look like reMarkable is leaning more towards internal-only or templating-based formats (none of the imported templates had a `PNG` or `SVG` related file anymore), but even so, everything still functioned correctly. The app handled the new structure just fine and all tested templates (including the `Black Template`, `custom SVG`, and `custom PNG-only`) displayed correctly.

I haven’t installed this beta on my reMarkable 2 yet, but I’ll keep you posted if anything changes there.
