Yes, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_SwiftKey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_SwiftKey says November 2022 reversed its decision and continued to support it on iOS.

  And no new keyboard version for iOS has been announced to date.

      Oh jolly! Two updates have new features! Thanks!

        Can't tell if you're being sarcastic .. but since app devs have no requirement to list anything past a minimum number of characters ...there's no guarantee you actually find out anything other than "an update is ready" :)

        Just started using it again. And I'm happy. This is one of the things I missed dearly before moving from Android late last year.

      Transparency in updates is a big failure in the App Store redesign from a couple years ago. Now the updates are buried multiple taps in and I doubt most average users even know where to go to find them which leads to people thinking their apps aren't being updated.

        multiple taps? If an app is updated, it pops in the apps pending updates list I have mine set to autoinstall, but can force them to install manually, too

        Fair, it is one tap. However, it's in under your profile picture instead of having its own tab. I don't thing your profile is the most intuitive place to look for updates though. I just loaded my App Store app and went to check my updates, despite auto-update being enabled, I currently have 6 apps that need to be updated, the oldest of which being updated 4 days ago, but still sitting in pending updates[1].
