Q: Why doesn't pages appear in automator?

Scripting support in iWork 13 applications is pretty much gone.  Apple will be updating the applications in the next few months, but if you don't want to wait you will need to revert to the older versions.

Automator uses an application's scripting terminology to do its thing, so actions depend on what is implemented.  The iWork applications were completely rewritten and it looks like they were in a hurry to get them out, so hopefully they just left some stuff unfinished.

…or maybe because AppleScript doesn't work in iOS, they'll never bother, but leave you waiting for years in the hope they might.

iOS is a different environment - I wouldn't expect scripting support for anything there (especially since there isn't access to the file system).

Did you notice anything wizzing over your head just then?

You mean like the lack of a <sarcasm /> tag?

Was it really necessary?
