App store doesn't work on ipados 26

That App Store, as well as many other apps, now shut down on opening and turn into a black page with the rotating wheel, before get back to the home page. It all started with the official update to iPadOS 26 and I don't know how to solve it.

Please try restarting your iPad Air. That should help.


  1. Press and hold either volume button and the top button until the power off slider appears.
  2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
  3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the top button until you see the Apple logo.
