Affinity Photo keeps crashing when trying to import photo from Photos

[the aducator]

Affinity Photos app keeps crashing when:

• importing photos from the Photos app
• Placing photo in a document

App just closes itself. Also gives a null error when importing directly.

iPad Pro 10.5, Affinity Photo 2.2.0.2005,  17.0.2

This 2.2 update has been the buggiest Affinity update ever. Designer app is still buggy with font selection. Photo app keeps crashing when importing photos. My work has been badly affected by this for a week now and there has been no update so far for either app. Please fix these issues soon.

@the aducator I not getting the same behavior when trying to replicate your workflow on any of our iPads. Importing images from Apple Photos either directly opening or using Place does work for me. I've noticed it does seem to take a little longer but this may depend on the image format/size.

Have you tried moving images out of Apple Photos and to your iPad storage or iCloud and then try opening them in Photo V2 just to confirm that they do open? It may also be worth doing a restart of your iPad if you haven't done so already, just in case.

Restarting helped! Thank you so much. 🙌

The font selection bug still persists though, please fix that. Thanks.

I am still having this problem. There is an error anytime I upload a photo from Apple iPhoto on iPad affinity photo 2(2.6.1). I can make a doc and try to upload - it crashes. I upload directly - it crashes. I tried restarting with to no avail  

iPad mini 6th gen (18.1.1 IOS)
