[Feature Request] InDesign Availability on M4 iPad Pro

I started with PageMaker on a Mac 512K and a 9 inch screen, so smaller than an iPad.

With no inside knowledge, I suspect it is being worked on but Adobe isn't going announce it too early in case they decide to drop the project. Everything is cost vs. benefit (to Adobe, not users). They would probably have to include it in the Creative Cloud subscription like the iPad Photoshop and Illustrator. So, the question is how many NEW customers will it bring in? And, is that enough to pay for the programming cost? 

There are probably some interface problems they need to overcome but If they can do it with Illustrator, they should be able to do it with InDesign--possibly with a feature-limited version. I remember Adobe Captivate had an iPad program called Captivate Draft where one could start the layout and transfer it to a computer for finishing. However, it disappeared. Probably wasn't popular enough to keep it updated and adding new features. 

Affinity is the new kid on the block and needs to set themselves apart from the competition, so they have to go the extra mile. But it's not unheard of for programs to just be dropped. Serif, Affinity's parent company, did that with a series of Windows-only programs before coming out with the Affinity line. With not upgrade options to existing users. (Canva bought Serif last year.) Time will tell if they can get a big enough market share with low cost software to maintain the programmers needed to keep all three platforms up to date (Windows, Mac, iPad). 

As already pointed out, using ID on a touch interface is horribly unproductive. I've tried it on Windows touch devices and it's while it demoed quite nicely at MAX more than a decade ago it's not at all something I would want to see Adobe put its limited resources into.
