Denny Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Using the latest version of Mac and iPadOS, latest versions of Designer and Photo on an M1 iPad Pro, dragging a photo from the Mac to the Photo or Designer application file browser/start screen via Universal Control will crash the app upon dropping the file onto the app window open on the iPad.

Hi, I accidentally found this article https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/700925 called “Universal Control can’t drag and drop files across devices” The solutions seems to be as follows: “It turns out to be a problem with the settings. To solve this, you can go to iPad Settings - Accessibility - Touch - AssistiveTouch. Find Perform Touch Gestures and switch it off. Then you'll probably find Universal Control works properly.” All the best!

Denny Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 Thanks iuli! Upon first reading your response I didn't think it would be helpful because file sharing between the two devices via Universal Control and drag/drop is actually working fine in other ways. I've been able to drag back and forth between them using different apps with no problem. It was just the two Affinity apps on the iPad that was causing those apps to crash. But I tried the suggested solution anyway and it does indeed fix the problem for those two specific apps. With that option off I can now drag files from the Mac to the Affinity apps on iPad with no crash. Thanks again! iuli 1 Quote Web & Graphic Design @ beardyguycreative.com Kit: iPad Pro 12.9" and 2012 MacMini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted March 30, 2022 Staff Share Posted March 30, 2022 Hi Denny, Im struggling to recreate this behaviour even with the assisted touch setting enabled. I understand the issue is now solved for you but if possible could you enable this setting again and provide a screen recording demonstrating the crash just so I can log this our developers as a potential issue to look out for? Thanks C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
