12/7/24 iMovie update installed. Now stuck in “Permissions”. Seems like photo permission is fine but access to music not working.

I had the same problem! Here’s how I fixed it:

*very important* Apple Music MUST be installed on your iPad first.
Settings - Privacy & Location - Files and Folders - Uncheck iMovie.
Settings - General Settings - Transfer or Reset iPad - Reset (it’ll open a menu) - Reset Location and Privacy
Open iMovie - Continue - Allow every permission Apple wants you to hand over - Give it your soul if need be
iMusic should now show up in Settings - Privacy & Security with iMovie checked, now that you’ve given it permission.
Download all raw data and never trust Apple again.

I hope I covered everything!
