How do I know when iPadOS 18 is available again for M4 iPads

I had a post removed because I was told it was a feature request. So let me ask a simple question. Apple removed iPad OS 18 as an update for M4 iPads because of a serious bug. Apple is working on it. But how will I know when they have a solution? I have my new M4 iPad Pro currently shutdown since I cannot complete setup due to this bug. Is there a way I can get Apple to notify me when the bug is fixed? Or do I need to just keep rebooting the iPad every day and waiting to see if software update gives me a choice to pick iPad OS 18? Thanks.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

As we are end users like you with no special access to Apple's inside functions, we can do no more here. Anyone who really knows will be under an NDA and therefore prohibited from commenting.

Apple doesn't respond here.

Luckily I still had the 5th Gen 12” IPad and took my new M4 back to Verizon and got refund. I’ll wait for settling out. Was also peeved that my IPen won’t work with M4. Add another $125-50 for new pen unless I had kept the older lightning charged pen. Really???
