Questions

I am interested in live drawing patterns in illustraitor using the pattern "repeat" tool on ipad, but every time I add one brush mark in the pattern, illustraitor exits out of the "repeat" layer and starts drawing outside of it, thus not repeating the drawing I'm doing. Are there settings I need to change to acheive this?  The video of Affinity Designer is just a visual of the workflow I am trying to acheive. 

Will these features come to iPad anytime soon? It seems the only post I find with a response to this which explained it was in the works, was in 2021 😞 now being almost 2024 it's a little frustrating it isn't already available 😞 

Hi, I have been using illustrator on my iPad pro for a while and now suddenly it closes whenever I try to draw/edit any file. It opens but closes as soon as I draw a single line. There isn't an error crash message and nothing useful in the previous conversations. My iPad is up to date and matches illustrator specifications. Please help

Hi Everyone, I have been using illustrator on my iPad for about four days and really love using it.But yesterday evening I tried to open it, the splash screen appeared for a moment and then disappeared  and the application wouldn't open. And it keeps doing this. I haven't been able to open illustrator since. I restarted my iPad, then uninstalled the application before reinstalling it, but I still can't open it. Anyone know what's wrong with it and how to fix it? Thanks.Annette     [Subject changed from "changing" to "crashing" as per subsequent post]      

Before I upgraded to IpadOS 17, I still can use adobe illustrator on my iPad with IpadOS 16/16.5. After I updated to IpadOS 17, I couldn't even launch the app. It just popped out and went back to my home screen. I'm not using any app before it since I restarted my Ipad before launching Illustrator and I tried uninstalling the app, restarting my Ipad and even tried going into Illustrator with adobe creative cloud, but it's still the same way. BTW, I'm using Ipad Pro 4th generation, software version is IpadOS 17 as I said above, and seems like Adobe Illustrator is also up to date since it didn't ask me for updates these days.

Hello everyone,does anyone know if I can add CutContour in the iPad version of illustrator?thanks everybody in advance 

Hello,all of a sudden my Apple Pencil no longer works in illustrator. Nothing responds to it and I can only use my finger. Please help. Thanks  

Apple tabletten kullandığım illustrator uygulaması 10 saniye sonra kendisini uygulamadan atıyor.ne yapabilirim... teşekkürler...

I can open Illustrator and my document fine, but the moment I try to select anything, it crashes. I am using an iPad Air (4th gen) with an Apple Pencil (2nd gen). My iPad is fully up-to-date (iPadOS 17.1.2), as is my Illustrator app (3.0.5). This problem persists regardless of whether I try to select with the pencil or with my finger. I have tried restarting my iPad and deleting and redownloading the app, and neither fixed the problem. I looked for the "show effects when using Apple Pencil" setting to turn that off as others have suggested, but this iPad model doesn't support Apple Pencil effects so that option is not there. 

Hello Adobe Community, i am having difficulties working with Illustrator on Ipad the last few days. As soon as i try to use my apple pencil in the app, it closes immediately. I have IPad Pro 2022 and the newest iOS and Illustrator App installed. Does somebody else expecierence the same problem? Is it Illustrator crashing or the pencil settings not functioning right? 

First of all, when I would open a previous or new document, the app on my iPad would automatically shut down. I deleted the app and installed it again and now when I log in, i click "Restore purchase" and it just loads. I deleted the app and tried again and same thing. 

My iPad Pro 4th Gen. 11 in. Automatically updated a few nights ago and now Illustrator keeps crashing when I open it. I've tried a hard reset. I've made sure app is updated to Version 3.0.5. Don't know what to do? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hey everyone! I cannot for the life of me figure out how on to type on a path in Adobe illustrater on Ipad. Ive tried the secondary outer ring trick, I've tried dragging the text to the path, and I've tried selecting both the path and type and clicking the type on path button but nothing works. I've attached a screenshot of what it looks like from my end. Any help is so appreciated!

Hello, I have a very new iPad (bought back In September this year so that shouldn't be the issue), Illustrator seems to crash and freeze when I use it for more than five minutes. I have signed out and in, didn't work, Re installed my app, didn't work, and turned my iPad on and off again, didn't work. I really need it to work smoothly for my business. What can I do? I have an iPad Air, 15th gen, software 16.6.1thank you!

I tried to open Illustrator, the splash screen appeared for a moment and then disappeared and the application wouldn't open. It keeps doing this and it is very frustrating as I didn't paid money to not be able to use it. I restarted my iPad, uninstalled and reinstalled it, but I still can't open it. Everything is updated. Anyone know what's wrong with it and how to fix it?Thanks.Ayano 

Is your iOS up to the latest version? (17 at the time I'm writing this). What version of Illustrator are you trying to run on what Verison OS on Pad?

Just wondering how Illustrator optimized to perform on the ipad OS? I'm using Illustrator on the latest M2 iPad Pro, with 16gig ram, and not sure it's a huge performance boost over my previous 2018 iPad which only had 4gb ram. Maybe the Illustrator isn't really built to take advantage of the M2 and/or 16gb ram configuration? For comparison, I know that on Mac OS, not all graphics programs can actually use the multi cores, like InDesign and Illustrator for example, so having a high end Mac doesn't necessarily makes those programs go any faster.

Not sure if the issue is software or hardware, but I've got the best hardware there is, and Illustrator doesn't seem to run much faster than on a five year old iPad.Maybe Illustrator for iPad isn't really built to take advantage of the M2 and/or 16gb ram configuration?

I am using Illustrator for iPad since day one as a profesional cartoonist. I implore you to add the Width tool and the Free Transform Tool. It is super painful to jump on the desktop version every single time, just for small corrections.   What do I have to do to be sure an Adobe employee sees this? Thank you, community. Rares

I think the app is crashing on my ipad air 4. I just installed it so I'm not sure if I have done anything wrong. As soon as I click the app it shows the logo then closes. I tried un-installing it but nothing changed. I have illustrator on desktop and that one opens fine, I thought it would be better to work on my ipad because my computer is old and it would be disappointing if it didn't work on another device as well. I have the crash report but I don't know who to send it to or how. Should I post it here? Is there anything else I should try?

Meu iPad fecha inesperadamente assim que abro o aplicativo illustrator. eu tenho um iPad Pro 11 pol de 4ª geração  eu já exclui o app e baixei novamente  já desloguei e loguei ate agora nenhum tópico eu consegui resolver ja faz um bom tempo que venho pagando e ele não funcioa

Works great when just fingers, but get the Apple Pencil anywhere near and crash! Brand new iPad and 2nd gen pencil. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Quiero comprar la  Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra , pero antes, queiro saber si me puedo descargar illustrator, Premiere... etc

I just downloaded illustrator and the app keeps crashing once I click on the file. It'll open the app, then allow me to click on the file that I'd like, but once it opens the file it shuts down the second I press a tool on the screen. I tried compressing the file and that didn't do much. At 318 kb it shouldn't be an issue right? Does anybody else have that problem? I'm also trying to work on construction blueprints, so maybe that helps. its on iPad Pro (6th gen)OS 17.1 and I already updated the app, so there aren't any other updates that I can see from the App Store.
