Installed iPad OS 27 DB1 on my M1 iPP and found a bunch of bugs

[bondr00644]

I installed 27 db1 on my M1 iPad Pro last night. So far so good. Running smooth with just one glitch so far. The Files app will not open. I mean, it opens…but crashes immediately. I have force restarted the iPad several times to no avail. Hopefully it gets fixed by the time the public beta comes.

I will be exploring the new os today. So far, I like the new changes. Took me a minute to figure out getting the menu bar to show I like being able to access the control center on the external monitor now. It’s still indexing but like I said, I’ll be exploring. Let’s see how it goes.

I had none of these problems on 26 or any of its betas.

I am attaching a screen cap video of the Files app problem.

Edit: Just discovered that screen vid caps are blank at this point. Also, trying to delete them from the photos app makes the photos app crash.

Edit 2: Also can’t use emojis on my iPad. I can on my 13PM which is running 27 db1 also.

Edit 3: OK, the files app works fine on the iPad screen proper. It just crashes when I try to open on the external monitor. Funny thing is, when I open it on the iPad screen, I can transfer the window over to the external monitor without it crashing. Also, screen vid caps work fine on the iPad screen proper but record blank on the external monitor. Emojis also work fine on the iPad screen proper but no go when typing on the external monitor.

Edit 4: Apparently there are some external monitor issues. When I try to access History in the sidebar in Safari while on the external monitor, Safari just crashes…..every time.

It‘s easier to follow and discuss a topic when it‘s focused in one thread. So we‘ll close the other one with the same description of the issue and keep the discussion to this thread.

Well, I’m on DB3 now, and the external monitor stuff still exists.

Whatever is causing it is definitely only causing the problems on the external monitor because none of them exist on the iPad without external monitor.

When I am home I use my iPad 95% of the time with an external monitor. Don’t get me wrong. I love 27, and I’ve have gotten so used to using iPad as my laptop and desktop computer that this external monitor issue is just an annoyance.

Very thankful that I have no issues with 27 on the iPad without external monitor. I hope a fix comes soon for this because imo 27 is the best iPad OS yet.

All problems I’m having so far while using external monitor.

The cursor is one of them. It shows up on the iPad proper but doesn’t show up when connecting to the external monitor. If I disconnect the external keyboard and reconnect, the cursor comes back to the external monitor.

Another is the wallpaper doesn’t show on the external monitor when I boot up. If I disconnect from the external monitor and reconnect, the wallpaper shows.

The Files app crashes when trying to open on external monitor but not on iPad proper. Have not found workaround for this yet.

Screen vid captures still blank on the external monitor but fine on the iPad proper.

Trying to delete photos or vids from the Photos app on the external monitor crashes the Photos app every time. Not so on the iPad proper.

Edit: Sometimes opening a new tab to a website also crashes Safari on external monitor, but never on iPad proper.

Can’t use emojis on the external monitor but fine on the iPad proper.

When I try to access History in the sidebar in Safari while on the external monitor, Safari just crashes…..every time. Works fine on the iPad proper.

There are some more and I’ll try to remember to list them here as they happen. Just can’t remember them all now. They all only happen on the external monitor. 27 is perfect with no problems so far on the iPad proper. Really hoping for fixes for my external monitor problems. I use my iPad with an external monitor at home 95%+ of the time, and it’s really annoying to have to move the window from the external monitor to the iPad screen just to avoid the glitches.

Edit: Just to be clear, none of this happened on 26 from the very first betas right up through 26.5 for me. I have reported all this in the Feedback app.

Edit: 27 is working fine on my iPad 9. I reduced motion, use solid icons as opposed to Liquid Glass, and have it set to “full screen apps”. It’s very zippy and haven’t run into any glitches so far.
