Aseprite IOS Development

[KazeThaGuy]

Sorry to make this my first post, but i wonder if the development for the ios port has been in progress or awaiting development because i have an ipad and would love to have the app on there, from my research it looks like dacap is doing development but im not sure if it is going currently

Currently there has been no development for mobile devices, though it is planned.

This was the last news written in a thread about iOS/Android, it dates back to 2020 however:

iOS / Android version

I’ll lock this thread. There are plans to release an iOS version of Aseprite in the future. That’s all I can say.

Take the following with consideration however:

iOS / Android version

There are no news about the iOS port, and probably no progress at all until Aseprite v1.3 (at least the first beta) is released (which will include the tilemap editor).

Aseprite v1.3 seems to have launched November 2023 (~7ish months ago).
Announcement of v1.3 (tilemap editor):

Aseprite v1.3 released!

Welcome Asepriters! Today we are finally releasing Aseprite v1.3 as the stable version replacing the previous v1.2.40. It is already live on Steam and all our platforms. (Note: not yet on Humble Bundle because they are some issues uploading new files.) If you were already using v1.3 beta or a release candidate, you can check out the release notes just to check the latest fixes/features.

Hi everyone! there is no progress, only some ideas. The good news is that we’re trying to make a little bigger the team so we can divide some tasks. I’d like to start focusing more in the UX / UI area to design the touch-only / stylus-only version and delegate the development.

Can’t wait. I’d love to not have to sit at my pc to use aseprite for work haha.

Yeah id love to be able sit sit comfortably and make tilesets for games and even while out and about. I pray that this becomes a high priority for future development and we can get this soon!

Would definitely love to see this turn into an iOS app. I know it’s been requested a bazillion times over the last 3 years, but the alternatives are really limited when compared to Aseprite.

Pixaki is decent, but for $27 I’d really rather give that money to Aseprite team for an iOS app. Working on a tablet with a pen is just much easier and more comfortable than sitting at my computer desk with a mouse. So I’m currently stuck handing over almost $30 for Pixaki and paying for every release.
