iPad V2 Apps not screen mirroring to PC correctly

[starling]

Hi, I'm wanting to stream doing my design and art work from my iPad to my PC. However, whenever I get the screen mirroring connected, none of the Affinity apps display properly. It will show a static portion of whatever file I have opened, but none of the tools, and it doesn't move or change to reflect what I'm doing on the iPad. In other words, the file just appears as a static image in all of the iPad apps. Other apps, such as Procreate, mirror fine, as does my home screen. I've try different screen mirroring programs on my PC with the same results, so it's not an issue with the mirroring itself, and definitely seems to be something with Affinity.

Hi @starling,

Welcome to the Affinity Forums

Sorry to hear you're having trouble! I can confirm that our team are aware of a few issues with screen mirroring on iPad and these are logged with our developers to be resolved.

I'd like to try and ascertain the exact cause of the issue you are seeing, so can you please confirm for me:

• What model of iPad are you using?
• What version of iOS is installed?
• Do you have Stage Manager enabled?
• Within the Affinity app, under Preferences > General do you have 'Present on External Displays' enabled? (does disabling this change the behaviour of the canvas?)
• Within iOS settings, do you have Display Zoom enabled in the Display settings?

Many thanks in advance!

I feel like this should be turned off by default. Very unintuitive to not be able to zoom in by default. Glad it worked to fix it though
