What's New in Version 1.2
Bug Fixes
Issue: Text in text boxes was not appearing in exported PNG, PDF, or SVG files, even though it displayed correctly in the app on non-iPad Pro devices.
Root Cause: The ImageRenderer used for exporting shapes was not properly rendering text due to:
Problematic .fixedSize() modifier on text
Missing explicit background for ImageRenderer
No opacity configuration for text boxes
Issue: Export window does not automatically close after sharing/exporting.
Fix: Added an onDisappear to the export function to detect when the user finishes sharing/exporting the file.
Changes
Added export to SVG to start testing with Microsoft Visio importing.
