you should have developed the app better

Uhhh.... you mean you want some indication that a crash is about to occur and you want it now?

Perhaps read this and post in correct thread when you have a calm moment.  :)

Hi Indigo, crashes like you experienced may be caused by lack of memory resources in iPad or possible corrupted object in your project, either way, very annoying to lose work. 

It will help if you provide details such as IPad model, memory size, iOS version, Designer version.

When working on your file make sure all other apps are shut down (as they hold onto memory). Sometimes a hard reset helps too. Hold power button and home button down for 10seconds and iPad will reboot freeing up memory.

If you attach attach a copy of the file to your post someone here can test to see if they have the same issue. If it’s repeatable here the developers may be able to identify why it is happening.

If you want to do this, open your project, use the Document menu and select Save a Copy. Follow the prompts and save with history too. Now you have an .afdesign file that you can attach to your post.

This is actually a good workflow to use anyway. Save a copy. Close the original and use Open from Cloud to Open the Copy. Now you will also have a Save option appearing in the Document menu and your changes can be saved back to the .afdesign file. Otherwise saves are made to the Designer 'sandbox' copy and cannot be accessed if something goes wrong with your file.

@GabrielM Hi Gabe, I am having the same issue with the Logo.afdesign file causing Designer to crash. I could move the shapes either side but after selecting and moving the outline shape at the centre top of logo, Designer crashed back to desktop.  Maybe move the OP¡s post to the bug thread. :)

@GabrielM Hi Gabe, the crash took a little longer this time but still happened after moving things around  File is 160mb and upload failed, so may need a Dropbox account to post it to.

edit : I have clipped the clip to show last few actions leading to crash. Did pretty much same actions on other side first, then moved the top drawing then moved to right side and crash.

I noticed a strange empty group in layer stack, deleted it then saved a copy without history, closed the file then opened the copy without the empty group and without history and can’t get to to crash anymore (not exhaustive testing).
