    Can you be more specific on how you cropped your image? hyperPad has a limited built in image editor that has a crop feature. You can import a graphic, then in the asset library press and hold to bring up the menu, and then select "Edit Graphic" then on the left hand side select the crop tool. If you used an app outside of hyperPad, make sure the image you cropped is saved, and you have imported it into hyperPad AFTER you have made any edits in what ever tool you're using.

    @Abukhara No there is no limitation like that. Is this happening only for a single object, or any object in your project?

    @BuiltLord You can already do this. You can select the Global UI layer on the right sidebar and from there you can drag graphics from the Asset Dock to add elements to the screen. You can program the elements to act as buttons.

    The next base iPad is rumored to get Apple Intelligence support with an A18 chip, bringing on‑device AI tools and significantly better performance than the A16 — which could be a big deal for creative and coding tools on iPad. There are also leaks suggesting OLED displays, stronger chips, and broader updates across the Air and Mini lineup, which would give devs like you more headroom for graphically rich apps and games. At the same time, iPadOS 26 is adding better windowing, multitasking, and productivity features, positioning the iPad more as a creator tool than just a consumption device. For game dev on iPad, that could mean: Stronger hardware in mainstream models → better performance for real‑time engines 🎉 On‑device AI features → potential for procedural content, smarter behaviors, or assistive tools Improved multitasking → more productive on‑device workflows with editors and asset tools Some folks are skeptical about how much real change we’ll actually see (especially on the Pro side), but broader AI support + OS upgrades could lower barriers for dev tools to thrive on iPad. 👀 Thoughts on how this might shift the creative ecosystem on tablets moving forward?
