Affinity Publisher for iPad?

[Josegt80]

Ojalá  a amigo yo llevo esperándolo 1 año y nada creo que de la versión para iPad se han olvidado pero sigamos soñado

Would also love an update on publisher for the iPad, especially with my new M1 powered pro on the way!!

I hope that publishers can take advantage of the performance of M1 8gb memory. At present, when the affinity software runs in the background, the ipad pro 4gb memory will restart.

Usted dice de los 8 GB y el M1 y que me dice con los 16 de la versión de 1 y 2T ahora con la nueva actualización de los iPad no deben tener excusas para poder sacarlo por qué potencia hay de sobra.

@Patrick Connorbuenos días entiendo perfectamente tu repuesta pero los lideres de la compañía como usted bien dice son los que tienen que dar explicaciones per no la dan y venimos aquí por información por que nadie sabe nada del tema, ni usted ni los lideres pero como usuario de Affinity en todos sus App tanto en Mac y iPad me siento defraudado por esperanzas no cumplidas con esta App. Y trabajar se trabaja por que solo hay que ver como seis adaptado las Apps al M1, lo que yo creo que habéis dejado de lado el proyecto, pero bueno solo doy mi punto de vista saludos a todos.

And work is being done because you only have to see how six Apps have been adapted to the M1, which I think you have put the project aside

The technology behind the M1 chip is the same technology behind iPad chips from the last 4 years. We already supported metal on iPad which were in some respects faster than Macs. When Apple put M1 chips in Mac's we already had the metal code written for the iPad version so adapting that code for M1 Macs did not detract from ongoing work on Publisher for iPad.

Sorry there is not more to say on this at the moment.

The development progress has not been officially announced, because I want to use the iPad to do more projects. At present, Affinity Designer is very unfriendly to text layout. The iPad version of the artboard cannot adjust the margins. The bug has not been fixed, which makes it very difficult to do multi-page design.  Convenient, no matter what software, please enhance the function of text layout

When will be the affinity publisher available for iOS to use on the ipad?

[Josegt80]

Esa es la pregunta del millón 🧐 

[Pdr2002]

Still no date for the release of Affinity Publisher for the iPad? 🤔

[MEB]

Hi @Pdr2002,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Still no news regarding Publisher on iPad, sorry. You can subscribe to Affinity's newsletter or follow us on social media if you don't want to miss the announcement whenever it comes. Thanks for your interest.

[Josegt80]

En un futuro muy…….lejano llegara 😅, lo mejor es hacerte la idea que no habrá y buscar otras alternativas.

All I want to know is if you are working on Publisher for iPad Pro? I’m not appealing for a release date … just, are you working on it or is it in the “A Good Idea, Won’t Happen” bin?

Going on comments above, it would seem that Serif are working on APub for iPad, but there is no eta for it's release.

[Josegt80]

La verdad es que el equipo de Affinity me a defraudado, despues de estar esperado Publisher y ahora estén con otro proyecto como PUB la verdad no me explico tanta problemas con App pero bueno….🙁

[Ikikuru]

Personally, I don’t see why companies need to be so secretive about this kind of thing! If you’re here you’re likely a loyal customer and genuinely want something. I wish affinity would play ball a little! It’s not endearing me towards them. I have been a big pusher of affinity to work colleagues and friends. But this kind of brush off just makes me feel less close to them. It’s simply just a transaction and we’re just a customer. They could be getting us excited and sharing a few things, but no! nothing!

It’s been almost 3 years since publisher for the iPad was announced as being worked on, please tell us when it will finally be released. 

[Josegt80]

Un consejo… no esperes nada de affinity 🤔

I think your mind is playing tricks on you! Ash Henson Hewson announced during an event in the summer of 2019 (i.e. a little over two years ago) that APub for iPad would be released the following year, but then the coronavirus pandemic disrupted the timetable.

This is how I recall it as well.

Any inside news about publisher for iPad?

I am using my iPad for my workflow everyday and publisher is just the missing piece that is preventing me from doing everything without the need of swapping devices.

[VectorCat]

I want iPad OS Publisher as much as anyone.

Until that great day happens, at least Designer has art boards and can therefore enable one significant piece of a page layout tool. 
 

my sense is that the programmers want to deliver iPad Publisher just as much as we want them to.
 

It’s hard to be patient because we want to have on iPad arguably the greatest creative workspace in all of computering: Affinity Designer, Photo, and Publisher. 

I have no doubt it will happen. 

[Donloggins]

Can someone at Serif give us a hint when publisher for the iPad will come out. It was announced as being worked on in 2019 and we are now quickly coming up to 2022. That seems like a very long time from product announcement with no product launch.
