I am having the same problem with Designer 2 on iPad. “Save as” always crashes. Every. Single. Time.
Unusable. Disappointing that I upgraded and paid for the suite. What do I do? Adobe?

Depends on how good of a workaround you are needing.  You can export to PDF and then use Calibre to convert the PDF to EPUB. It creates a usable EPUB, but with poor fit and finish. If the final product isn't too bad you might can go in and clean it up with the Sigil application.

RE using Calibre to convert to epub:
I have used Calibre to convert all of my .docx files to epubs for Google Play Books. I get around 20,000 downloads a year from Google Play, so the Calibre software must be doing something right.
1) Open Calibre.
2) Drag your .docx file into the program. Highlight the file if it isn't already.
3) Right-click on the selected title and select Convert books / Convert individually.
4) Select your cover image where it says Change cover image.
5) Slide the mouse to the top right dropdown menu  and BE SURE OUPUT FORMAT = EPUB. (Eventually it will default to that if you convert enough .docx files.)
6) Enter your Title, Author, Author Sort, and Publisher. (You can leave Publisher blank. I use my author name as Publisher.)
7) Click on OK, bottom right.
😎 When the BIG ARROW on the right stops flashing, Calibre is done converting your book to an epub.
9) On the right, under Path / Click to open, you will see your epub when you CLICK ON Path: Click to open.
10) Et voilà! There is your .docx file converted to an epub.
Can't get any simpler than that. 
And just what I want, stupid, mindless forum software that converts something to a smiley. Oh well, you'll figger it out, I'm certain.

I did a horrible mistake and I used Publisher for a book design without researching first. Now the publishing house wants EPUB export and I am literally f***ed, because I cannot export to EPUB nor IDML...

Is there any feasible workaround to create eBOOK files? So far I did not find anyting that would make it easier then designing the whole book from a scratch again in InDesign :////

first of all: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
EDIT2 seems to be working – now I can see only K from CMYK values in Acrobat preflight preview
P. S. I tried all PDF export files, but none of them worked well with the combination of a spot color + vector illustration, as far as I remember.

This could be the "illustory" problem of having a device-CMYK PDF that is produced if you used "PDF (press-ready)" and either had the images already in CMYK mode, or checked "Convert image color spaces" export option under the "More" PDF export option page. Affinity apps by default include the target ICC in the PDF, which is basically not needed since everything is already in target color space. If this target is different than what you have in Adobe Acrobat Pro (which shows the default Adobe CMYK target Coated Fogra 39), the Output Preview will show ad-hoc converted CMYK values, where e.g. K100 values show as four-color black.
In such situation, simply changing the simulation color profile (in Output Preview of Adobe Acrobat Pro) to match your Publisher working CMYK color space should correct the problem, but I would rather unceck the "Embed ICC  Profile" option, and re-export as then it does not matter which simulation profile you use. Another option is to use any of the PDF/X-based export methods, as these presets embed the required profiles, but additionaly include the output profile intent so that Adobe Acrobat Pro automatically picks the correct simulation profile. 
EDIT: It is not completely clear to me whether this confusion could actually result (by itself) in erroneous print-out, but I am certain that it can confuse (inexperienced) press personnel, and might actually lead in a situation where colors get mixed. This problem does not happen when you use e.g. Packzview as prefilight tool so it might be Adobe-specific, so in that sense "illusory". But this problem does not happen when you produce PDFs from e.g. InDesign (or QuarkXPress) because the defaults are such that ICC profiles are not eimbedded if not needed, and when included, the target intent is included, as well.
EDIT2: The way to avoid most of the printing issues that exist in Affinity apps when producing for commercial press is to choose "PDF (for press)", and then changing the following two options as shown:

PDF/X-based methods would otherwise to fine, but they do not work well if you have placed PDFs that are meant to be passed through (these files might get rasterized if there is PDF version "incompatibility", as Serif puts it).

The most basic organization is needed I believe is having "folders" or categories and subcategories. So that we don't have this to look at to find brushes.

Users need some sort of simple way to organize and save favourite brushes in their own panel. There are now hundreds of brushes, all in separate panels. It's becoming counter productive and I think some sort of system is needed to get the most out of all of these great resources.

Please! I am suffering when checking colors before printing. Sometimes I do an error and leave CMYK color instead of Pantone, because it is basicslly not possible to figure out 😭😭😭 I used Adobe for preflight checks, but it is annoying to pay a licence just for that…
