Pages app crashing upon opening after update to IOS 18.2.1

using an iPad Pro 11 inch, second generation. Pages will open to the splash screen, but the app crashes immediately upon selection of any options or opening a previous document. Restarting does not solve the problem.


In addition, when checking for new IOS updates, there returns a message that an error has occurred and that it can not check for a new update at this time.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

On iPadOS, launch the App Store and search for Pages. Click on that entry when found and you may see an Update button. Get the Pages v14.3 update. Afterward, shut down the iPad and repower. Launch Pages and see if that changes the issues you have been having.


I have an M4 iPad Pro with iPadOS v18.2.1 and Pages v14.3. I have no issues with Pages on the iPad whether the document is in local storage, or on iCloud Drive.

Update: I went to the App Store and found no update listed. I went back and deleted the Pages app from my iPad and then downloaded Pages. After doing this, I was able to open pages documents normally and it appears to have solved that problem.


Note: The error message regarding new IOS updates was unchanged.


Thank you VikingOSX for getting me started in that direction.
