Question
Crashes When Applying AI-Powered Adaptive Profiles on iPad Pro M5 & iPhone 17 Air (iOS/iPadOS 27.0 Beta)
Issue Summary
- Problem: Lightroom crashes immediately when applying AI adaptive profiles to images.
- Affected Devices:
- iPad Pro M5 (iPadOS 27.0 Beta)
- iPhone 17 Air (iOS 27.0 Beta)
- Non-Affected Devices:
- iPad Pro M4 (2024, iPadOS 27.0 Beta)
- iPad Mini 7 (2024, iPadOS 27.0 Beta)
- Mac (M1, macOS 27.0 Beta)
Key Findings
- Other AI features (e.g., Super Resolution, Generative Fill) work flawlessly on all devices, including the affected ones.
- The issue only occurs with adaptive profiles, suggesting a specific incompatibility with the Neural Engine cores in M5/A19 chips (2025).
- All devices run Lightroom v11.4.0 (242) and the latest iOS/iPadOS 27.0 Beta.
- The problem does not occur on 2024 hardware (M4, A18) or macOS, even with the same OS version.
Additional Context
- The synchronization issue mentioned in my previous support request has been resolved.
- This crash only affects AI adaptive profiles, not other AI tools in Lightroom.
