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!

Illustrator for IPad is still crashing. Pencil setting has been changed per recommendation. iPad is 2 months old. Latest iOS. Latest Illustrator...uninstalled and reinstalled.

My Illustrator for iPad continues to crash. It opens to the Home Screen, but once I open a file, it crashes pretty much immediately.

 

 I've updated the Apple Pencil setting. I've deleted and reinstalled the app. I am at the latest iOS. My iPad Pro was purchased two months ago.

The latest iPad OS and Illustrator are currently not very compatible.

That makes me sad.

I just upgraded to iOS 17.1.1 and now Illustrator crashed directly after opening a file. I cannot do a thing and it just closes. I already checked the Apple Pencil settings, but unfortunately for me that doesn't do the trick.
Any other ideas on how to get this back to working?

I do not like it that i am paying for an app that crashes on me.

If you can work with your fingers but not with the Apple Pencil. Try turning off the option to show effects when using a digital pencil.

Hello,

I have an iPad Pro 12.9 M2 6th generation, and I have installed Illustrator on it. However, I am facing an issue where Illustrator is working fine when used manually, but it crashes when I use the Apple Pencil.

Ipad pro 4th generation user using Ipad OS 17 

Was experiencing crashing whenever clicking the tools with the apple pencil, as stated above, when I switched off Show Effects when using apple pencil in Apple Pencil settings it no longer crashes. Thank you @Pi2539 !

I've checked my requirements and all are ok. As soon as I draw a line or another shape, for that matter, the app still crashes. 
I work on an iPad Pro 4th gen, with more than enough RAM

best,

Almost three years later and it is still crashing every 5 minutes, deleting all of my work and resetting all of my settings every time. Adobe writes such garbage apps. And yes, my iPad still meets the requirements.

Hello @anned24433363,

 

We understand how frustrating it can be to experience crashes. Would you mind sharing some more details, like the exact model of the iPad you are using, the version of iPadOS and Illustrator installed, whether Illustrator behaves this way with all files, whether it crashes when using a specific tool/feature and a screen recording of the problem so that we can better assist you?

 

Also, kindly share the crash report so that we can investigate this further:

  • Open iPad Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements > Analytics Data. You will see file names like “adobe illustrator-2023-01-03-083327.ips” (2023-01-03 is the date in the log & 083327 is the time). Ensure you share the recent log file after the crash happens by looking at the timestamp.
  • Upload the file to (https://assets.adobe.com) and share a link to the file here or via DM

 

Looking forward to your response.

 

Thanks,
Anubhav

Hi. I'm having the same crash issues. I've read all of the requirements. My iPad is compatible, updated, new sets version of iOS, I've done everything, including trying to upload and share the crash log file. When I go to my assets page on Adobe page, to upload the file, it says the file won't upload because the file type isn't supported. 
I'm a longgggg time reluctant user of Adobe. If I could still have Freehand, I would. That aside, have you guys even tried to fix this issue over the three years this has been a problem? It really sucks that we pay all of this money to use a product, MONTHLY, and you all are raking in the cash, yet only 1 of many apps/programs, usually work. BS 

So since im not able to share log file where you say, I'll try to here!


Hello @Bradi157F,

 

We sincerely apologize for the trouble you're having with Illustrator on the iPad and want to help you get it running as soon as possible,

 

To help us with this, would you mind checking if all of your work is synced online (https://assets.adobe.com/cloud-documents)? If yes, kindly try deleting Illustrator, restarting your device, and then reinstalling the app to check if it helps. Also, check if the OS installed is up to date (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204204).

 

If the issue persists, kindly share the crash report so that we can investigate this further:

  • Open iPad Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements > Analytics Data. “adobe illustrator-2023-01-03-083327.ips” (2023-01-03 is the date in the log & 083327 is the time). Ensure you share the recent log file after the crash happens by looking at the timestamp.
  • Upload the file to (https://assets.adobe.com/files) and share a link to the file here or via DM.

 

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav
