ZenLink v2.5.1

ZenLink 2.5.1 updates ZenLink 2.5.0 in place: your settings and devices stay.

✨ What's new

• 📱 Pick your iPhone / iPad. The Apple screen lists every connected device (USB or Wi-Fi, iOS version, status) and the ones you used before. Click one to choose what Start mirrors; remove old ones with ✕.
• 🤖 Android apps launcher. While a phone is mirrored, the dock has Apps: a searchable grid of the phone's apps. Open an app on the phone's screen, or (Android 10+) in its own window.
• 📂 Drop files on the window. Android: an .apk is installed, any other file goes to the phone's Download folder, with progress. iPhone / iPad (Apple Driver mode): pick an app with File Sharing (VLC, Documents …) and the file lands in its folder, visible in Files › On My iPhone.
• ⬆️ Updates inside ZenLink. Settings › Updates checks GitHub (Stable or Beta channel), downloads with a SHA-256 check and updates in place, keeping your settings.
• 🧾 Logs in one place. Window, backend, crash and setup logs are in %LOCALAPPDATA%\ZenLink-Next\logs. Settings › About › Open log folder (or Start menu › ZenLink logs). Please attach them to bug reports.

🛠️ Fixes

• ZenLink Studio over Wi-Fi no longer looks stuck on "Connecting…": it says it is waiting for the iPhone / iPad and shows the Screen Mirroring steps.
• "Backend not found" now says what is missing and what to do.
• The Android app list no longer fails with "os error 10060" on slower phones.
• Installer: "Allow ZenLink on the local network" now also allows the bundled adb, in the same single administrator prompt, so Windows no longer asks separately for adb.exe. ZenLink itself still runs without admin.

⚠️ Known limits

• Sending files to an iPhone / iPad and Apple over Wi-Fi are not yet confirmed on a device.
• Windows may show SmartScreen: the files are not code-signed yet.

Assets: Setup.exe (installer), Portable.exe (no install), Manual.zip (manual install with the source code; extract and run Start ZenLink.bat).
