Hello,

I was trying to use the new Pencilkit tools watercolor, monoline fountainpen but there is no way to implement them in Xcode. There is even a Link to Apples documentation but it's not accessible in Xcode somehow. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/pencilkit/pkinkingtool/inktype/monoline?language=o_9

First I thought they did the same thing like back in the days where they added the shape recognition feature and then removed it after a few weeks. !!But it looks like as if some apps have access to this new tools for example PRODRAFTS ... How is that possible ?? !!

I really dont know why this happens, but I had the same issue in December 2022. They released the new .monoline as PKInkingTool and 1 month after release it suddenly was gone. So my project was basically broken because they removed some features. I think they just removed it and the Apps that can use it now, they probably were lucky because they implemented it early.
