Affinity 2.4.1 seems to be killing my iPad mini


Recommended Posts

I thought I’d solved the issue, but no.

Opening Affinity apps and they lock up, then crash. Or open then can’t access the files and folders where images are stored.

Even the previous Betas are doing it. Either not working or random failures. They are unusable.

Procreate and most other apps work fine it seems. 
Has anybody else seen any random behaviour suddenly. Since the latest update actually I think.

The admins will tell me off again but have you tried closing all open apps then doing a Forced Restart as many iPad problems can be fixed this way.

By the way a new beta 2.4.2 just dropped 2 minutes ago.

Hi Paul

Yes, I’ve tried all that. And now, oddly. After the installation of the latest Beta a few minutes ago, the Betas at least seem to be ok. Haven’t given it a stress test yet but looking ok so far.

fingers crossed

Plenty of space. Just over half actually. I keep everything on Dropbox and iCloud.

I’ll see how it goes. Thanks for your help.

I have iPad mini and most of the problems I have are associated with the Apple File Manager, especially if connected to a PC.

If connected to PC and turn off PC while still connected, my iPad will hang. Turn the PC back on and it will, fix the hang situation, so clear the connection is the problem. Close the connection on iPad with the PC before shutting it down. 

I find that 3rd part file managers dont have these problems.

A solution has been found. Amazing.

I went into the iPad Settings, and selected Reset. The one just before the one that cleans it off ready for resale. 
Gritting my teeth I hit ‘do it’

Well after a time the iPad was restarted and it’s like a different iPad. !
Everything works- I had to reset a few options like permissions, wallet and so on, but. Not as much as I thought. 
However. Affinity apps are now working perfectly, along with Files. everything is working better than it has done for years. 
I’ve been using this daily for years now, and I guess it was just so full of junk files it couldn’t continue.

So thanks for the ideas above folks. I appreciate it. I can report that a Reset is a good fix if it’s not been done before on a busy system. It fixes lots of things, and gives the iPad a new lease of life..
