Apple Pencil Not Connecting After iPadOS 13.5 Update

I am having an issue with my Apple Pencil 1st Generation not connecting with my iPad Air after the iPadOS 13.5 update. I have reset the iPad numerous times and turned bluetooth on and off. When I tried to pair it with another 6th Generation iPad also running iPadOS 13.5 it worked just fine. I also have not had any issues with the Apple Pencil not pairing prior to the update. I am curious to see if anyone else is having the same issue or has a possible fix. Thank you for your time!!

I had the exact same issue on two iPad Airs with the 1.Gen Pencil. After updating to 13.5 the Pencil wont charge. I unpaired them in the bluetooth settings and after that i wasn't able to connect them again. Both pencils and iPads won't connect in any configuration. I plugged the pencil in, and nothing happend. I fully charged the pencil and it still won't work.


But I found the solution. I charged the Ipad and the Pencil both to 100%. Then it worked! On both iPads with both Pencils.
