[SOLVED] No iPad 2.5.6 updates show in App Store for me today

[R C-R]

What the title says. iPadOS version 16.6.1; 6th gen iPad (not pro); US app store.

If it matters, I was running 2.5.3 so I had neglected to update to 2.5.5 & when I went to the App Store it did show & update to 2.5.5; so I guess that much is working. I just can't get the 2.5.6 updates to show in the store.

They are all live, but they do not necessarily roll out immediately to all users.

If the automatic update does not happen for you, go to the iPad Store app and go to Updates. Once you’re there, tap near the top of the screen where it states 'Updates' and then hold, pull down and then release. This should manually refresh the updates page. However, don’t panic if the updates are not available for you yet—Apple sometimes phase roll outs around the world and this can take up to 24 hours.

Just FYI, these instructions are (I think) not quite right for iPadOS version 16.6.1 and/or my iPad model. For me, at the store I need to tap my user icon at the top right (there is nothing there that says "Updates"). This opens an "Account" window with my name at the top. If I drag down on that, I do get the refresh spinner & eventually after about a 2 minute wait the 2.5.6 updates did appear.

Installing them now.

that's really helpful. I have corrected/tweaked my announcement posts, thank you

If you simply search for Affinity in the app store the apps will immediately appear with the word update rather than having to wait for them.
