Reply to Scrolling with Apple Pencil does not work in 9.3.

I feel like I'm talking to myself at this point. 🙂 But I vote one big NOPE if this is a feature and not a bug. So I'm in Notes, and I use the Pencil to open a note, create a note, and then close the note, but when I want to delete the note...oh...wait...I have to use my finger. Because I can't swipe. Stupid. The Pencil MUST be both a pencil and a stylus.

Apple charged me $99 for Developer program, but I still don’t have access to Developer Program

I’ve registed for Developer Program on Friday, Apple immidiately charged my credit card for $99, but initially I didn’t get invoice. After call Apple I’ve got the invoice, but I still don’t have an access to developer program, and see the message in my account: “Purchase your membership. To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process.” Basically, right now Apple charged me $99, but didn’t provide access to Dev program. Is there anyone that can help me?

Reply to How to detect whether Apple Pencil 2 is connected to an iPad Pro 3rd-gen

Curious why you're doing a device (UUID/name string) check at all, say, versus a (azimuth and altitude) property check that would indicate an apple pencil proper.It's better to avoid UUID and decouple your app from hard coded references so that you don't have to update each time a new pencil comes along.

Pencil "Touches" on Catalyst are interrupted with modifier

I'm working on a catalyst video editor and I'm using my wacom graphic tablet to work. The wacom input gets translated into a pencil touch. Whenever I hold down a modifier (shift, cmd etc) the touch gets ended and also ends all gestures. The mouse (indirectPointer touch) doesn't exhibit this kind of behavior. Is this expected behavior? If so is there a way to opt out? Any way to prevent this? This basically makes the typical transform gestures impossible to do when using the graphic tablet.

Reply to iPadOS 15.5 beta 3 incompatible Apple Pencil 2

I am having the same issue with the Apple Pencil when it is attached to my Magic Keyboard. When I disconnect it from the keyboard, it seems to function normally.

Reply to iPadOS 15.5 beta 3 incompatible Apple Pencil 2

Same issue here. Pencil does not function after I attach it to the iPad pro, only when it is also attached to the magic keyboard. Disconnect the iPad from the keyboard, pencil works again. If I then reconnect to the keyboard, the pencil works until I reattach it magnetically to the iPad. 15.5b4

Reply to Is there a scribble gesture for new line/return?

I need this feature too. It is getting really cumbersome to bring up the keyboard and press the return key every single time we have to write in a new line. you can start with the Apple Notes app and this feature then can expand to others as a common pencil functionality and gesture. I hope this would be available across both pencil 1 and 2

GCDeviceBattery Charging State

I've been playing around with the GameController framework, and have tried to get the charging state of a controller's battery. However, it doesn't seem to be available in the GCDeviceBattery type. Does anyone know if getting the charging state is possible? Thanks!
