Importing images/files from Google Drive
Not sure if it’s been suggested already or if it’s even possible but importing images/files directly from Google Drive would be quite convenient.

Deal with markup directly
Add a feature which enables the user to directly input SVG markup into the application, instead of having to import an SVG file all the time. Will save a lot of time for those who make SVGs by hand like me.
Also, I would like it if I can just switch from graphical editing to markup editing seamlessly within the app. It would help with developing SVGs a lot.2 votes -

“Embed All” button when embedding links.
Sometimes i work with files that have a lot of links! Then when I send that file to the factory I ha e to embed all those links. To embed all the links takes what feels like forever!
If there was a “Embed All” button it would save so much time! 🙂2 votes -

Like in Excel: should be able to hide all layers then unhide just the layer you want to work on.

Add a quick show/hide button to reveal tool tip labels
Unlike desktop/Wacom styluses, the apple pencil has no hover state which makes it hard to know what tool does what. Would be very useful to have a quick show/hide button to quickly see hovering tool tips for each tool option in lieu of having a hover capability. Example UI attached.

Long press delay to delete point is too short
When using the direct selection or pen tool to move points the point is deleted too soon if the apple pencil is used to select it. Long press is supposed to delete the point but this happens if you hold the pencil on the point for a very short time. Please add a longer delay or even better allow the user to set the delay in preferences.

Align dashes to corners and fit length
On desktop, there is an option to adjust the dash/gap corners so that it fits the stroke/shape. There is no option for this on the iPad, and I would really like to see this asap so I can make dotted boxes.

Locate and find selected paths in layers panel
When the artwork becomes more complex, it’s almost impossible to locate selected object in layers panel, except doing it manually. You should mark the layer, group, clip group, that contains the selected object. Just like you did with a little square on the right side of the layers panel on desktop version.
Keep on with such a great work!2 votes -
Share link for only selected artboards
Currently when you share a link for review, it creates a link with all your artboards. So instead, I would like to select the artboards I would like share on the link.

Find locked layers
When I select a layer on the artwork it says locked. I would like to see an indicator in the layers panel of where the object is located, so I can unlock it. It is very hard to find white locked objects.

Erase up to intersection (Paths)
Illustrator on Ipad and the normal one really needs a tool to erase to intersection, like for example Clip studio has. It has a few workarounds, but this should just be a feature, not something to work around.
Erase up to intersection should be a simple tool/or a feature you can activate on the normal eraser, so you can just touch the lines you want to cut and they will be erased up to the closest path it connects too.

Full screen mode
Would really love to see a pure full screen mode, and I think it would be nice to have the app go a little darker in UI than the current color. I think it would be beneficial from a UI perspective to have the undo buttons on the bottom in the toolbar or somewhere else on the button. Easier and quicker to reach that way. I think the UI would look a bit better with the top menu bar thinner. Would also be a nicer look if the tool bar was a floating panel rather than locked in place. Same…

Add hexagon to basic shapes
This is ridiculous, I have to use another app to create a hexagon and then import it to illustrator because illustrator is missing a lot of basic shapes. Affinity designer has tons of shapes as default and it’s so much faster to design with them.

Architectural scales
Architectural scales would be a very helpful feature built into illustrator. I am a designer for films and use HOT DOOR CAD TOOLS every day. Nothing exists for iPads at the moment.
