Preview 7 is a narrow iPhone/iPad compatibility release. Every embedded device and Simulator Metal library now targets iOS 17 explicitly, fixing the RT64 common-compute-pipeline failure confirmed in issue #19 without changing accepted gameplay, controls, ROM conversion, saves, audio, touch layouts, or renderer settings.

The production build passed an in-place physical iPad update with both ROM copies, active save, backup save, and preferences preserved byte for byte. Hands-on iPadOS gameplay and controller acceptance passed.

The coordinated native Apple-Silicon Mac Alpha is byte-identical to Preview 6. Its known limitations remain, including sluggish horizontal mouse turning and the thin far-right blue render edge.

The IPA is intentionally unsigned and contains no ROM or save data. Install it with AltStore Classic or another supported personal-signing workflow, then select your own original NTSC-U GoldenEye 007 retail dump. The Mac Alpha is arm64, ad-hoc signed, non-notarized, and remains below mobile release quality.

The separate A12X first-draw report in issue #9 remains open pending affected-hardware testing of this exact artifact.
