iPadOS 17.7.7

I am basically a front-end engineer and am eager to transition into app development, particularly for iOS and iPadOS platforms. I am aware of tools like Xcode and Swift but would greatly appreciate guidance on the best place to start. Please suggest a structured learning path or resources that would help me build a strong foundation and advance my skills effectively? Thank you!

Last night I upgraded from iPadOS 15 public beta 3 to public beta 4. This morning, I go to put my iPad onto my Apple Magic Keyboard and it worked for about five seconds, and then a popup came up that says Accessory Not Supported - This accessory is not supported by this device. Now, my iPad continues to charge on the keyboard, but I can't use the actual keyboard or the trackpad at all.

To replicate, create a new iOS project based on Swift/Storyboard using Xcode 26.0 or Xcode 26.1. Update ViewController.swift with the following code: import UIKit class ViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() view.backgroundColor = .systemBackground title = Root navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = [ UIBarButtonItem(title: Full, primaryAction: .init(handler: { _ in self.showModal(with: .fullScreen) })), UIBarButtonItem(title: Page, primaryAction: .init(handler: { _ in self.showModal(with: .pageSheet) })), UIBarButtonItem(title: Form, primaryAction: .init(handler: { _ in self.showModal(with: .formSheet) })), ] } private func showModal(with sty

After recently updating my 3rd Gen iPad Pro with iPadOS 16.1 Beta 8, I can no longer check for software updates. I receive and obscure error stating that the device can't check for updates. And, even though it has a Try Again button, clicking that multiple times results in the same error. Anyone else have any insights into this recent issue with the latest iPadOS Beta release? I've already sent feedback to Apple. Just curious if anyone else is experiencing the same issue. Update: Seems to be working now. I guess there was an issue with the update server?
