Yep. Sorry for the bad input about this.
Overprint for ai on ipad then i can do what i want

But overprinting a fill (or a stroke) won’t make it into a spot color once separated into channels.
So do you just mean you want Overprint option added to Ai on iPad? -

Desktop version has this attribute Overprint Fill. I need that on iPad version too.
You need this feature when ur are doing print like UV products or DTF prints.

Hmm. Still hard to grasp — sorry. So what is under, a spot-colored background, or the image?
I suppose the image is below and you have some art above, overprinted... Correct?
Can you please share an image to explain it further? -

Hi.
I print images on mirror. Where image is under and spot color is background. So i need to make that spot color Overprint that it comes on background of image correctly.
It is possible to do on normal illustrator but not on Ipad version. Sorry if this is hardly to explain.

I somewhat get an idea behind it... although I’d prefer to hear an extended answer to 'why'.
On the other hand, I can hardly imagine how this would work if I apply Overprint to a thing on top of something else than a flat color. Then it’d be just impossible to convert ALL the colors below (and it can be a blend, a gradient, an image, anything) into spot ones.
Overprint is just not the thing is 'very similar' to spots, it’s an entirely different thing, about ...not making holes in channels.
Sorry, I personally don’t think it’s technically possible.
