Matt Johnston Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 @iuliThis is the problem with entitlement. People think that because they've *used* a PC for a while and they've *owned* an iPad for years that they know how computers work. I've literally been an IT professional for twenty five years. I've been working with Apple's OSes for thirty. I was messing with Mac OS X before it even was Mac OS X (Oh, Rhapsody!). I started the first app company in my country when the SDK became available. I've struggled building games that run acceptably well into the tiny amount of RAM available on iPhone. But people would rather put their fingers in their ears than admit they were wrong.

VectorCat Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 So…is the speculation that only the latest iPads will be able to run Publisher, or we just don’t know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speculation seems to be that StudioLink will require Stage Manager, and that Stage Manager is restricted to the latest iPads. We know nothing of what the requirements for Publisher will be on iPad, so I'm just ignoring all such speculation. iuli, Patrick Connor and VectorCat 1 2 -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted June 7, 2022 Staff Share Posted June 7, 2022 We have not decided on the minimum spec yet but Affinity Publisher does not need Stage Manager to run on an iPad.

Matt Johnston Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Gone awful quiet. Pretty confident that Stage Manager itself has nothing to do with it. But there is a big difference with the memory and how it's not flushed. Maybe we will get a Publisher release for M1 and iOS 16 users when the public beta of IOS16 comes out in July?

Matt Johnston Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 No, public Beta of IOS16 will enable a lot of M1 equipped kit with a vast amount more memory (through the new VM system). Patrick Connor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donloggins Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 As it was announced publisher would be released in the summer 2022, that means affinity should release it in the next 178 days….I wish affinity was more open with release dates and app progress.

Donloggins Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 The display has rounded corners. When measured diagonally as a rectangle, the iPad Air screen is 10.86 inches. Actual viewable area is less. Battery life varies by use and configuration. See apple.com/batteries for more information. Apple Pencil sold separately. Data plan required. 5G is available in select markets and through select carriers. Speeds vary based on site conditions and carrier. For details on 5G support, contact your carrier and see apple.com/ipad/cellular. Keyboards and other accessories sold separately. Apps are available on the App Store. Title availability is subject to change. The Affinity Publisher app available later this year.(Apple changed it from Summer 2022 to later this year) this sounds like a delay to me. iuli 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right as usual, but I think it’s highly unlikely that Affinity Publisher (and Studiolink) will come sooner than iPadOS 16 — which means after the (traditional) summer. I’m aware that Publisher for iPad is independent of Stage Manager but even so, big changes are lurking around Affinity for iPad and I think there’s a good chance that all are coming at once, in autumn, alongside iPadOS 16 (or at a later date).
