iPadOS 18 Public Beta and Affinity?

[Denny]

Is anyone running the iPadOS 18 public beta along with the Affinity Apps? Any reports on compatibility and/or stability?

I am running iPadOS 18 and I am unable to export my Publisher files. I get the settings for the export (such as a PDF) but when I get to where to save the exported file, the “SAVE” button doesn’t work. 

This is happening in iPadOS 18 Public Beta 2 and now, 3. It’s like there is some incompatibility with the way files are saved.

Welcome to the Affinity Forums @LambertChannel!

We don't yet support the new iPadOS 18 update, but we are noting users beta experiences and logging these internally - then when our team are ready to test on the new OS we can run through the already reported issues and check to see if they have been 'fixed in the wash' during the beta, or address the still present issues within an Affinity update.

Therefore I will log this inability to export with our developers internally now

Thanks, Dan. I appreciate all the work you folks do.

I am also on iPadOS 18 Beta (22A5326f) and so far everything  I have tried works ok including Document -> Export -> PDF from Publisher.

Good to hear, Paul. 
 

Mine is still not working on both of my iPad Pros (M4). It’s always strange when it works on some, not on others. Maybe a reinstall on my part could help. I’ll see if it persists and then move on to trying other options.

For some reason, I am suddenly able to export and save PDFs from my Publisher documents in iPadOS 18 public beta 3. It did not work on multiple attempts up to yesterday. 
 

Yay!

We believe this issue has been addressed by Apple and would like the participants in this thread to confirm that the Release Candidate iPadOS 18.0 (22A3354) does not exhibit this problem for you.

This issue is resolved.
