Sanctuary Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 I searched for this topic and cannot find it anywhere in the Forums. I currently use Publisher for MacOS. I would like to know when it is projected to become available for iPad Pro; I would welcome the opportunity to be a beta tester. Kind regards.

It's odd you didn't find anything. I just put Publisher iPad into the Search box here and found one relevant hit quite high in the list, and another somewhat lower. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/search/&q=Publisher iPad&quick=1 The basic answer is that it's not available yet.

Sanctuary Posted November 2, 2021 Author Posted November 2, 2021 Thanks. It'd be good to know at least from Serif their projected Publisher for iPad release date. I'd love to stop using my dinosaur MacBook Pro!

Taste Eat Drink Posted January 11, 2022 Posted January 11, 2022 Are there any updates to Publisher for IPad Pro? I saw something referencing the M1 chips, but I’m not anywhere near needing an upgrade.

I don’t know why anyone assumes that Publisher for iPad will only be available for Pro models, let alone M1 models. I haven’t seen anything to suggest that it won’t be usable on the same range of iPads as Designer and Photo are (although I don’t think I’d want to try to use it on an iPad Mini 5 or even an iPad Mini 6).

Matt Johnston Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 I recently (2 days ago) just started using Publisher on my Mac for layout - my background is PageMaker, FrameMaker...and Pages. Really keen to hear more about Publisher on iPad because my iPad is my favourite writing machine (and I'm one of those weirdos who does layout as he writes). Sih and Dj Ozz G 2
Mike W077 Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 Hey everyone! We use Affinity Designer, Photo, and Publisher to produce a monthly publication. Use Designer for ad production, and then place the ads in Publisher. I would like to use my iPad Pro for more work with Designer and Photo, but my issue is font syncing. The fonts don't sync with the document to the iPad. I open an ad I want to modify, but the fonts are not there. This makes it impractical to use for this. Am I missing something simple on the font syncing issue? Does anyone have any thoughts or, even better, solutions? Thanks! Dj Ozz G 1

droddy386 Posted March 5, 2022 Posted March 5, 2022 Hmm - I am starting to think that they are beholden to someone on this I have been looking forward to an affinity publisher app on the ipad pro for some time. Along with Concepts app, and Clip Studio Pro, that would put the final nail in Adobe’s coffin on the iPad. If I have learned anything over the years, it is that Microsoft and Adobe carry a lot of sway. I will be very surprised if affinity is able to release a publisher for iPad Pro any time soon. That said — Affinity - you make great stuff - Please prove me wrong. I dare you! Honestly - please do. Sih 1
Zerocrop Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 Apple have just announced the iPad Air 5 today, and the new page for the 5 on Apple’s website actually shows Affinity Publisher running on the new device. https://www.apple.com/uk/ipad-air/ See the section ‘Tons of apps. Tons of fun’ about three quarters of the way down the page. Donloggins, iuli and droddy386 1 2

M1 iPad Air “arrives 18 March” so it seems that Affinity Publisher is inches away of being officially announced for iPad. I think that would make little sense for Apple to promote its new M1 iPad with an app that would not be available at iPad’s launch. It seems reasonable to believe so.

That would be the dream! to which Affinity replied: 😉 Publisher for iPad, and most importantly STUDIOLINK, look to be very, very, very close to a release date; just around the corner. Maybe as soon as next week, Tuesday or Thursday. It would be just before the official release of M1 iPad Air. I HAVEN’T BEEN SO EXCITED GRAPHIC-WISE SINCE THE RELEASE OF AFFINITY DESIGNER FOR iPad!
