In the latest update, more controls have been added to the export formats. It is possible to export selections, artboards, and the entire document.

Gradient Mesh Once after you add the necessary basic tools I would like to see that included,because it will be a big difference maker with your competitor affinity + it’s the reason why I want to use illustrator on my iPad and not buy a new PC

DWG/DXF Export Being able to export these file types to local storage etc. would allow more opportunity for an iPad based workflow, rather than needing to jump back to the desktop version just for exporting

If not already suggested, arrows and other line end options As per I think the desktop version of AI, and for def, other Mac and iPad drawing apps, be nice to be able to add arrows and other end points to lines. And even better, include a dimensioning option. I know AI is not for CAD or related purposes, but it is in fact, almost good enough for such application, so why not? ;)

Export Single Artboard Right now it seems we have to export all artboards at once every time. It would be great if you could select one and only export that (great for when you need to update small changes to designs)

Envelope Distort for vector shapes/groups/text The ability to visually warp vector shapes was one of the most attractive features found in Macromedia Freehand (yes, I remember). It was the reason I began using (transitioned to) Illustrator at all. When the iPad Pro Revolution occurred, Envelope Distort in illustrator on my laptop was actually my only reason for maintaining an Adobe CC subscription at all. As workarounds for the effect were discovered, I dropped Adobe CC altogether in favor of iPad-based solutions.
There are times when Envelope Distort on the desktop version can be used in a way to bog things down or even crash the…

Would be great if you could get inspired by Procreate functions and workflow I love Illustrator on the PC and Procreate on the iPad. Procreate has lots of nice features that I would like to be seen in Illustrator for iPad, like how you use one or two fingers on the screen to control different things, selection tools etc...
