Gianni, is there not another basic move needed before the XY wings will work?

I think so Tom. There are 5's locked candidates in column 6 removing the 5 from r8c4. (Or you could use the hidden pair 1-3 in column 4 or the 256 naked triple in the same column.)

Yes,
the 5 in r8c4 had to be eliminated.
My usual issues with "auto sweep" when using the smartphone.

Another way to solve is by the nearly <26> pair in r9

If r9c7=4, <26> pair gives r7c5=1, r8c4=3, r8c7= also 4!

r9c7 must be <6>

or pincers on <6> in r7c5 and r9c7 gives -6 in r9c45 and r7c7

There's a rare (in my experience anyway) extended Unique Rectangle (2 x 3) at
r369c45 [25-56-26]. Essentially, to break the deadly pattern r9c5 has to be 4 so eliminating <26>.
