Recreate gestures to replace touch “button” when using Apple Pencil
Instead of having a physical touch button to mimic alt and shift, maybe draw inspiration from iPad only apps like Procreate to make the iPad Illustrator as useful as the desktop version.
Couple of ideas:
1. Decrease the affect palm movements have when using Apple pencil, and only respond to gestures and menu-taps when using Apple Pencil.Make it an option to use the physical gesture button or not.
2.a When not using a pencil it could be useful
2.b When using pencil, using finger gestures instead of a button would give more and quicker options.You can make it…

Ability to show individual layers in outline view
Maybe using the option 'button' whilst clicking on the visibility icon could put an individual layer into outline mode?

Import image? Surprised this isn’t already a feature.
Trying to import images of boat plans to digitize into 3D models... but there isn’t an ‘import image’ option. There is only work arounds that say to import image into Adobe illustrator Draw, and that should upload it to Adobe Cloud and it should work. Well, it doesn’t. Adobe Cloud cannot sync “at this time. Try again later”
Very disappointed and let down. I’ve been waiting years for this to arrive on the iPad, and it’s just as useless as whatever Illustrator Draw was supposed to accomplish.4 votes -
Precise Text Size and Spacing Slider
A more snappy unit for text size and line spacing adjustment slider.
It is difficult to get a precise clean number with the current slider.
For example when I wanted to change a text size from 30 to 40 with the slider, it always ended up with numbers such ash 40.73 or 40.28
A more snappier slider that only move to round numbers or .5 increments would be easier to use.5 votes -
Swatches and eye dropper tool
I would like to see an eye dropper tool and the swatches panel in Illustrator for iPad. The eye dropper tool would be useful for selecting colors in a photo and applying those colors to a shape. The swatches panel would be useful for selecting textures and previous colors that were used.

Apple Pencil double tap should swap between the Select tool and the most recently used tool
Similar to how other apps swap between the eraser and the most recent tool. This functionality would enable creating a shape, moving/resizing it, and then creating another one.

Include all free form gradient options and gradient meshes from the desktop version.
Having only point–based free form gradients is far to restrictive. We should at least be able to use free form line gradients and gradient meshes.

Combine objects
It would be great to be able to combine objects into one shape, because now, it looks like you can more "group" objects not combine it into one. When you need to print design its essential to be able to do it.
Now I can combine to one shape only by adding by Apple pencil tool one shape to another and it takes a lot of time...2 votes -
Magic keyboard support
As the title says. The mouse click and drag doesn’t work. Tbh i haven’t Delved too deep into the app to see which parts don’t work but it’d be nice to have full support.
Thanks in advance :)

Polygon tool
Hi, it would be great if — along with square, circle, triangle and star — there was a polygon option like on the desktop app.

Double tap gets you to select tool
Select tools is really useful. So if you use any tool should be a quick way to get to select tool. It will also be logical that if you get to select tool and you double tap it gets you back to the same tool you were using.

Choose the distance between each artboard copy
When I have some element outside the artboard it can be annoying when you want to duplicate it. It moves the outside element of the original artboard.
It could be a good feature if we could choose the distance between each copy.

Open files directly from Dropbox
Hi! First of all its great to be part of this finally.
But now the important. It would be very nice if we could open .ai files directly from Dropbox etc. without having to saving it to Files etc. As you can see there is no option to open directly in Illustrator even though it’s .ai file.
And no way to allow it in settings as far as i know, so i reckon its matter of the app rather than the OS.Thanks!
