Asked many times, it will never happen as the iPad has a much more lucrative market than any alternative individual manufacturers device.

I think it is more about how much more powerful the relatively few supported iPads are than most Android devices are, & how much similarity between the macOS & iPadOS there is. To develop for Android would be much harder since in effect they would be starting from scratch & would have to find some way of running on Android powered phones & such.

Android tablets are too fragmented to make this feasible I wouldn't bother with any tablet apart from an iPad these days for work and I used to work for Android. The kindle fire is fine if you want a cheap video or reading slab but it's not going to be good as a design tablet.

Thanks for your feedback.

The thing is, that i realy whant a good design tablet, and found one. It is dedicated to arts, but is android system. Guess i'll have to give another app a try.

I think If you focus on a select set of devices that are capable enough to run Affinity we have great start. Or focus on a specific chipset. e.g. Snapdragon 8 based tablets and newer. You can versions that support older chipsets later on.
