Unable to import via Files App
Hi there!
As I try to import a file via Apples Files App, I get this failure notice. A manual download of this or any other file in the CC App doesn‘t work either.

Resolution/raster setting info unclear and worrisome
I discovered on the help board that all files on illustrator for iPad or vector files and therefore do not need a resolution adjustment. It took me a full day to find that information and it is not clear in the app. To add to the confusion the only information we do clearly have says raster affects 72 dpi. So looking at that it sounds like the file I just worked on for four hours is at 72 dpi instead of 300 dpi like my printer needs. There’s nothing available in the app that mentions anything about the actual resolution.…

Gradient swatches
I create a swatch for a gradient without a problem, but when I select another vector and apply the swatch, nothing happens.
(Until then, for anyone wanting to work around the bug, go to the “solid color” option and back to “gradient color,” it should work then)

Typing zoom level 100 broken
Repro:
1. Tap Zoom to bring up number pad
2. Enter 100 at a speed the average user would type (not unnaturally fast)Result:
After typing the 1, it auto changes the number to 3.14% (nice number choice btw :). But this then makes it so that the next two zeros you press just make the number 3.1400%.One workaround is to type super fast and it doesn’t trigger the 3.14 change in time to break it. Maybe just increase this delay to fix the UX.

Type font reverts to default when exiting app
When I exit the app sometimes my work has been closed upon re-entering the app. When I open the file back up my text/type has reverted to a default font. Seems to only occur with fonts I have imported.

Organizational library
The transfer of files between iPad and desktop are inconsistent. As a designer I have been transitioning to using my iPad for Illustrator. Files (.ai) on Apple desktop are not showing up on iPad Pro. Using other platforms for organization can manipulate the image and delays production.

Export Panel and exporting for artboard doesn't work
I drag my icon to export panel and select SVG. then hit export.
A pop up appears only for half a sec and the export is not there.
Same thing for exporting for screens; I select the artboard - export as SVG and I select that it would make subfolders for me and show it after export.
It opens the folder but its empty.
This bug appeared after the latest update. I urgently need it to be fixed.2 votes -

Unable to open files after IpadOS 26.4 update
When I try to open a file to work on, it’ll attempt to load the project, the UI properly loads, then the entire app freezes and crashes. I am unable to access my projects.
Edit: The file I attempted to open after several tries, however seems very unreliable.
Edit 2: I tried opening a different file and this error message popped up (IMG_0311.jpeg). This hasn’t happened prior to the OS update.1 vote -
Objects jumping - Can’t move them precisely
I’m trying to create repeat files I can download as tiles. To do so, I’m trying to duplicate and move objects precisely using the x and y positions in Properties, but the objects keep jumping/snapping so I can’t do it. Sometimes it works, but often it doesn’t, even with snapping turned off. Is there another way to make repeatable tiles?

UI Rendering Bug on M4 iPad Pro: Canvas doesn't match Layers Panel
I am reporting a severe rendering/cache bug. When importing images, the canvas displays incorrect artifacts that DO NOT exist in the original files. Even on the M4 iPad Pro, the app fails to refresh the visual display correctly.
The Evidence (Referencing Attached Screenshots):
Visual Discrepancy: My "Layers Panel" shows Object 3 is on the very top, but on the Canvas, it is incorrectly covered by "ghosting" pixels from Object 1.
Not a File Issue: These artifacts are NOT part of my images. They are UI glitches created by the app's rendering engine.
Critical Performance Issue:
Refresh Delay: It takes several…

Moving Artboards (Text Displaced)
- When I move an artboard, if one layer is locked, the text gets displaced and does not return to its original position.
- Pressing Undo doesn’t restore it to its correct positions.
- The only way to fix this is by reverting to a previous file version using Version History.
