High CPU usage (167%) just by scrolling canvasView in the sample project
In the sample project "Drawing with PencilKit", even scrolling by 1 pixel can cause my iPad Pro to use 167% CPU and keep this usage for 2-5 seconds. My iPad got too hot after few minutes that I can't barely put my palm on it. This a serious problem and could be reprocedure easily: Run the sample "Drawing with PencilKit" on your iPad Open the sample note Select all strokes in the note and duplicate about 7 times (it is just an average number of strokes I write in a page on a note-taking app like GoodNotes). Scroll and watch the CPU usage jumps in Xcode It is not matter how long you scroll or how many strokes are visible on the screen. If the drawing has that much strokes, the CoreHandwriting objects will eat all the CPU. I hope it got fixed soon because it make apps with PencilKit consume too much baterry, getting too hot and we receive many bad review because of it :( Many thank to Pencil and Paperteam for developing this Framework btw, this framework is awesome, but it could be better, I believe.

Apple Pencil not pairing
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?

ML API for handwriting to text
Is there a Machine Learning API that can take handwriting (either as a bitmap or as a list of points) and convert it to text? I know Scribble can be used to allow handwriting input into text fields, but in this API it is Scribble which controls the rendering of the handwriting. Is there an API where my app can render the handwriting and get information about the text content? In the Keynote demo Craig was able to get text content from a photo of a whiteboard. Are there APIs which would allow an app developer to create something similar?

Hy! Hope you are all doing well. I already ask this question but no one give me any solution. I saw video of Inspecting, Modifying, and Constructing PencilKit Drawings. This video clear my all concepts. But I've one issue I want to draw on numbers like alphabets but there is no numbers file. In this code only uppercase and lowercase drawing file but these files not open. Firstly kindly tell me how to open this file and how to draw on numbers like alphabets. Your solutions are appreciation for me. I am waiting for your solution. Thanks.

Apple Pencil has lost most control of function after install of iPadOS 15 developer beta
My Apple Pencil 2 is working properly on my 2018 iPad Pro 11”, but it only started after upgrading to iPadOS 15 beta (developer edition). My pencil will scroll, select, and draw only outside of the Notes app and the new Quick Notes feature. There is zero control of the pencil beyond that; such as using the Scribble function, erasing, changing colors, highlighter or marker functions, lasso or ruler, etc. I can bring up the pencil tool pallet “occasionally”, but not each time that I tap it; the pencil only registers black line handwriting or drawing. I can record the screen with my experience if that helps someone in their efforts to assist someone who uses the iPad Pro daily as my only computer device. I run my business and household stuff through the iPad, I know that the brightest idea but I have already done this and never experienced any issues before that I could not resolve. I personally have been using iPads since the Air 2 and rely heavily on the upgraded versions of iCloud and a secondary backup that is performed weekly for dependable business record keeping. If you find a resolution, I’d love to hear details; I do use these functions daily and losing them is tough after having them for a while; particularly the Scribble that is used multiple times each day as I am not always seated when using my tablet. I also can only create one of the new “Quick Notes”, but it won’t allow for any handwritten entries, etc. I have to open the quick note in the general Notes app and go from there; although the lack of a fully functioning tool pallet is also causing problems in the Notes app as well with no tool selections being possible. Thanks so much! Matthew

How to ignore scribble
Hi! I update to ios14 and suddenly a large number of my PointerEvents on my iPad webview go missing. Disabling scribble (Settings -> Apple Pencil -> Scribble) on the iPad stops the behavior so it definitely seems related. But I want to ignore scribble and to solve this problem without modifying the settings. How can I solve the scribble problem?
