Re iOS App: Microsoft Remote Desktop v10.4.4 (5223)

Would it be possible to make the Apple Pencil support pop-up optional?
Or at least provide the option to hush the pop-up for a duration?

I remote into my development machine. Every time I click into my code editor, the pop-up appears and is not wanted. Unfortunately it is becoming annoying.

    Similar problem here!

    With older version 10.3.6 (5090) it has been possible to use Pencil2 on a Ipad Pro (5th).
    After the update 10.4.4(5223) Pencil2 is not recognized anymore inside the remote connection!

    Please bring back Apple Pencil!

    Just noticed the same thing. Worked just fine a few weeks ago.

    Definitely the kind of move I've come to expect from M$ and Apple.

    Not sure if its Apple going to such great lengths to lock their competitors out...

    Or just M$ being completely incompetent despite having the awareness and resources to do something about it.

    I'm having several problems with the Microsoft RDP iOS app on the iPad (iPad Air 4th gen with Apple Pencil 2nd gen):

    The remote computer's image is simply scaled (squished) into the local iPad resolution causing a distorted image. On all my other RDP clients (non iOS) apps the remote computer's image is changed to the local client's resolution  
    The remote computer's cursor is offset from the RDP iOS app's cursor (touch or Apple Pencil cursor)  
    As soon as I touch Apple Pencil to the iPad screen in the RDP iOS app, the app crashes.  
    

    As of right now, the iOS Microsoft RDP app is completely unusable for me, which is particularly annoying as this these devices are being used in a business setting.
