Known Issues
- On occasion, some annotation tools (eraser, flashlight, pen) are inoperable. (JIRA UN-512)
- Using an iOS device with AR hints enabled, if the surface area is too dark the hint screen obscures the tools. Note that the flashlight tool can still be used to illuminate the surface, even though it is slightly obscured by the hint screen. (JIRA UN-513)
- Flashlight state is not synched when an iOS-based guest has flashlight on and then minimizes the app. When the guest minimizes the app, the flashlight is turned off but the host's flashlight button indicates that it is still on. (JIRA UN-680)
