Hi, Is there a plan to make ignition Gateway/Edge available on iPadOS? Having ignition running on an iPad would provide an all in one solution, Gateway + HMI. Well, I suppose such solution exists already on a windows based HMI (but it is windows ..). Thanks. ---

No. You can't \[1\] run Java programs on iPads, and the OS is uniquely _unsuited_ for running durable applications like you'd want if you're running an always-on panel. * * * 1. basically, don't come at me, pedants ---

Good point. I had not think on the fact that the application cannot run in background. There is kind of a hack when using stage manager, but far from being ideal. Thanks.
