KiCad Android 10.99aj

KiCad master (10.99) for Android tablets and foldables, build 10.99aj. This is a development build.

Install: download KiCad-Android-10.99aj.apk, then allow installs from your browser or file manager. It needs an arm64 device running Android 10 or newer. On first start, grant All files access.

Fixed

• 3D viewer: opening it a second time showed a black view until the app was restarted. Each opening now gets its own GL state.
• Schematic and board look smoother: at High Quality antialiasing, edges were cut hard in the 2x supersampled picture. Thin text on high-density screens looked grainy as a result. Edges now get smooth coverage, and straight lines stay sharp.
• Files changed by another app: an open schematic or board now reloads by itself when its file changes on disk. If you have unsaved edits, it asks first.

For AI agents (MCP)

• Simpler kicad_api calls: the open project and document are filled in when a request leaves them out. Schematic commands such as GetSchematicNetlist, SaveDocumentToString and RevertDocument work without arguments. When a command can't run, the error now says what's missing.
• kicad_screenshot: returns a picture of what KiCad shows, including the canvas and any open dialog, so an agent can check its work.
• kicad_open_project: opens another project.
• RunBoardJobExportRender: no longer renders black when the request leaves out the lights.

Known issues

• Library list when exporting: the list dialog has no title bar.
• Preferences > Configure Paths: the path grid can't be edited. For KiCad's own 3D models, set a project text variable KICAD10_3DMODEL_DIR instead (see the README).
• Dialog layout: some dialogs sit partly under the status bar at tablet scales.
• Undo button: it can stay greyed out after edits made over MCP.
