Illustrator for iPad keeps crashing no have the latest version of the iPad so I'm not sure why it keeps crashing.

How can I fix this so I can use it for school?

Thank you!

I just had the same problem. Switched off Show Effects When Using Apple Pencil in Apple Pencil Settings and no more crashes. This must be a recent bug in AI or iPadOS because this never used to happen, unless I accidentally switched this feature on recently? Still a bug anyway. I see people having the Apple Pencil crash issue on Procreate forums too, so my money is it being a long term Apple issue being it's still happening years later!

Same issue. Doing artwork in illustrator on iPad Pro with latest IOS and app version using Pencil2. Crashes while using brushes on layers. Seems not able to handle more than a few additions without crashing, which leads to work being lost and having to be redone. To save myself the trouble, I try to be a step ahead by regularly closing and saving my work. Which means having to set up brush and palette again every time I reopen. Very frustrating!

I am having the same issue since the last update over two weeks ago, as well as other issues, such as freezing, nothing appears when attempting to paste to another document. It's frustrating, actually at this point, aggravating spending most of the day working on one document that should take less than an hour.

Hi there,

Really sorry to hear about this. We have released an update recently (1.0.3) with stability and bug fixes. Please update the app from the App Store and check if that helps. If not, please share the following details.

Does the app crash as soon as you launch it? If yes, please share some additional details so that we can assist you further. We'd need the crash logs which you could share with me over a direct message.

How to look for the crash logs:

Open iOS Settings > Privacy > Analytics and improvements > Analytics data on user device. You will see file names like “adobe illustrator***.ips. That's the log file, please share it over DM.

Also, let us know the -

iPad make and model

iOS version
Are you using any trackpad or keyboard? If yes, do share the details.

Regards,

Srishti

Hi,

I am also having this issue. My iPad meets all the specifications. The application crashes when I use the apple pencil. It seems that if I have the pencil pressed to the screen for too long, the app crashes and closes itself. Any advice on how I can get this to work better?

The main post is 2 years old and people are still suffering from this issue. This is ridiculous! I'm sitting here for hours on a piece just for the app to crash and I lose it all. My time and money is being wasted. This was the only reason bought an iPad and my school strictly uses AI so I don't have a choice. If I didn't have honestly I would use Procreate. This so sad this company is trash and doesn't care about its customers. FIX THIS APP NOW ARTIST ARE SUFFERING. and yes my iPad is the right specs and the app is updated.
