 # Changelog
 
+### 1.0.6
+
+**🎉 Released:**
+- 18th July 2025
+
+**🔧 Improvements:**
+- Fixed iOS "ZIP creation error" issue where users couldn't save Excel files on iOS (#5)
+- Implemented iOS-specific file operations using copy instead of move for better sandbox compatibility
+- Added `CoreUtils.safeFileURL()` helper method for iOS-safe file paths
+- Updated file path validation to be more permissive on iOS while maintaining security on macOS
+- Added iOS compatibility test to XLKitTestRunner for continuous validation

 - iOS: 15.0+ (available but not tested)
 - Swift: 6.0+
 
+## iOS Support
+
+XLKit is fully supported on iOS 15+ with platform-specific optimizations for iOS sandbox restrictions.
+
+### iOS File System Considerations
+
+On iOS, apps run in a sandboxed environment with restricted file system access. XLKit automatically handles these restrictions:
+
+```swift
+import XLKit
+
+// Recommended: Use CoreUtils.safeFileURL() for iOS
+let safeURL = CoreUtils.safeFileURL(for: "employees.xlsx")
+try await workbook.save(to: safeURL)
+
+// Also works: Use documents directory directly
+if let documentsURL = FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).first {
+    let fileURL = documentsURL.appendingPathComponent("employees.xlsx")
+    try await workbook.save(to: fileURL)
+}
+
+// Avoid: Using arbitrary file paths on iOS
+// try await workbook.save(to: URL(fileURLWithPath: "employees.xlsx")) // May fail
+```
+
+#### iOS Configuration Requirements
+
+To enable document browser access and allow users to load Excel files from the Files app on iOS, add the following to your app's Info.plist or target configuration:
+
+**Info.plist:**
+```xml
+<key>UIFileSharingEnabled</key>
+<true/>
+<key>LSSupportsOpeningDocumentsInPlace</key>
+<true/>
+```
+
+**Or in Xcode target settings:**
+- Set "Supports Document Browser" to `YES`
+- Set "Application supports iTunes file sharing" to `YES`
+
+This configuration allows users to:
+- Access Excel files in the Files app
+- Import Excel files from other apps
+- Share Excel files through the system share sheet
+- Use the document browser to manage Excel files
+
+### iOS-Specific Features
+
+- Automatic sandbox compliance: XLKit automatically uses iOS-appropriate directories
+- Copy-based file operations: Uses copy instead of move for better iOS compatibility
+- Relaxed path validation: iOS sandbox handles actual restrictions
+- Documents directory support: Automatically includes documents and caches directories
+- Temporary directory fallback: Falls back to temporary directory if needed
+
+### iOS Testing
+
+XLKit is tested on iOS in CI/CD with the following workflow:
+- Build verification on iOS Simulator
+- Unit test execution on iOS
+- Image embedding tests with perfect aspect ratio preservation
+- File system operations in iOS sandbox environment
+

+
+The `ios-test` command validates iOS compatibility by:
+- Testing platform-specific file system operations
+- Validating iOS sandbox restrictions handling
+- Testing ZIP creation with iOS-compatible methods
+- Ensuring security features work on iOS targets
+- Verifying cross-platform code paths
+- Testing documents and caches directory support
