Settings App Crashes on iPadOS 14.5
I have an iPad Pro 10.5 inch running iPadOS 14.5. I have previously had zero problems, however within the last week, the settings app crashes within 1-2 seconds after opening. I have searched the forums and cannot find a solution that works for me. This problem is becoming so pervasive that I cannot travel with my iPad because I cannot connect to any wifi spots, or do anything that requires the settings app.
Here are some things I've tried without success:
- Closing out all apps
- Hard Re-boot
- Connected to my MacBook Pro to try and restore or wipe/restore. After connecting, the automated sync/backup begins. After a couple mins I usually get an error that says "cannot complete backup because iPad was disconnected", however it was not disconnected. I also have an older backup that I tried to restore to, but it says I need to turn off the location services (find my iPad) before restoring. However, that cannot be done because my settings app crashes on the iPad before I can get to the appropriate screen.
