Numbers iPadOS won't show keyboard and now won't uninstall or reinstall

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, that didn't solve the problem. The Numbers app won't re-download.

I followed the guidelines and restarted the iPad. Then I went back to the App Store, and search for "Numbers." It shows the Numbers app, but with a box that says "Open" rather than the download icon of a cloud with a downward pointing arrow. When I tap "Open," nothing happens. The App Store seems to think that it's already downloaded.

Then I went back to the iPad home screen and long-pressed the Numbers icon (still only a white grid with gray lines on it). It produces a dialogue showing (1) the four most recently used Numbers files and, (2) below that, the options of "New Spreadsheet, Edit Home Screen, Share App, and Delete App." Pressing any of the files or any of those options produces no result.

It looks like the App Store and the iPad think it's downloaded, but the Numbers icon (staying as only a white grid with gray lines on it) function as if it isn't downloaded. So, that's where things are stuck.

Every other app that I use on the iPad works perfectly--except for the App Store as described above--whether it's a native Apple app or a third party app: Mail, Messages, Pages, Keynote, Safari, Contacts, Remote, Calendar, FaceTime, Books, Photos, Clock, Dark Sky, Kindle, Pandora, Google search, OmniFocus, etc..

So, what's the next step? I appreciate any help you can offer!

Thank you for your reply. I was hopeful, but in Settings/General/iPad Storage, every app is listed except for Numbers. (I asked someone else to double check. They didn't see it in the list either.) So, I can't delete it there.

Ugh.

I'm hoping there's a next possibility! :-)
