apple pencil charging

How can I insert the Apple Pencil(Scribble) inside the PKToolPicker like in Notes on iOS 14.0? I have a separate layered view that responds to Scribble in the same view controller and haven't found a way to put the Apple pencil inside the toolpicker with the other tools.

Apple Pencil suddenly no longer works with beta 10, I’ve seen this system wide and in a couple different apps that use it namely the notes app and Notability. I’ve done the usual of removing the pencil from the system, repairing, restarting the iPad, etc. Anyone else seen anything similar?

Is anybody else having a probelm pairing an Apple Pencil. I insert it into my new 2gen iPad Pro 12.9 and it briefly shows the dialog to Pair and then shows it connected, but then disconnects, and then I get an Error that the Pencil took to long to pair. Then it doesn't work.Am I alone in having this issue.Thanks,Nick

Hi! I'm trying to support the Apple Pencil in an iOS webapp / Safari using HTML5 / Javascript.So far I get touch events and can read the force property for pressure sensitivity.That works fine!The problem is however, that when using regular touch (no pencil), I get a force touch value of 0.So my question is, how can I make a webapp that supports both the Apple Pencil (with pressure support) as well as regular touch (with or without pressure).Is there some way to tell those events apart?Thanks so much.Best,- karma

Looking at possibly developing some case/docking alternatives for the Apple Pencil.Where can I find schematics of the Apple Pencil?

Is there a way how to detect at runtime if running on iPad Pro with  Pencil connected? Other than detecting type of touch.I mean something similar to UITraitCollection.forceTouchCapability which seems to be false on iPad Pro despite providing force data.

hey! i have an ipad pro 11’ 2018, and everything was working fine until one day i wasn’t able to connect my apple pencil 2 to my ipad. the pencil itself gets detected it just won’t connect with my ipad. i already tried restarting, unpairing (even since i wasn’t able to pair it) and even restoring my ipad. does anyone have a solution for this?

I connected my pencil to charge but the number didn’t change even after a while. I forget/reconnect it, and the battery was full (it was 34% before). Why did that happen?

I have a 2nd gen Apple Pencil, but when I try to pair it, there is just an icon on the top of the screen indicating that it detects one, but then it straight up disappears and the Pencil never paired, nor will it show up on the Bluetooth settings. It might be because of my iPad because I’ve tried different Pencils but none of them worked. And I’ve tried resetting my network settings and even the whole iPad itself and the issue remains. Am I the only one who has this problem?

Just got my hands on the Apple Pencil Pro, and was looking forward to being able to add tactile feedback to my apps through the Pencil. Apple appears to have updated their docs to make mention of the possibility of haptic feedback via the pencil and makes vague references to a certain SwiftUI modifier, but doesn't give any pencil-specific guidelines, code or speak about its capabilities at all. I'd like to ask if its possible to use CoreHaptic to queue custom haptic feedback (as of now the standard code which works on iPhone doesn't seem to work on an iPad with a paired Pencil Pro), or if that's not possible if there are any updated resources/example code for triggering predefined Pencil Pro haptics.

in OS11, my Apple Pencil has become flaky and inconsistent when writing. Particularly when I have my hand resting on the screen to write, it now creates dotted characters instead of strokes, or nothing at all. There is a lag. This seems worse with my hand resting. It is better if you make no other contact with the screen except for the pencil but only yesterday before I updated, all was well under OS10. I also use the third party handwriting app NOTES PLUS and this is now very erratic and practically unusable. I have restarted, turned BT off and on to re-connect the Pencil, recharged Pencil, changed tip, cleaned screen. Also tried many apps with the same result. (Notes Plus, INKredible, Paper 53, Notepad+, as well as the Apple Notes app pre-installed. All now give bad results with these new symptoms that did not exist prior to OS11.
