My iPhone and iPad mini 6 are able to render the AppStore just fine. Only my 12.9 iPad Pro cannot.

Does anybody with this problem NOT have a 12.9 iPad Pro?

Same issue on M1 12.9 running 15.4.1.

The iPad mini 6 on 15.4.1 and 2017 12.9 on 14.8.1 are loading fine, though.

Odd that it's random. As I mentioned, it's fine on my 2021 12.9, 15.4.1. I even cycled power to see if that had any effect - no, still works fine with app updates, etc.

*NEW UPDATE
Open in portrait mode



LotusPilot found a work around

open an App Store link and you can get in, they’re guessing it’s the app home page crashing things;
it has to be an app available in your country

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/instagram/id389801252

Another workaround from there - Launching the App Store App in Portrait screen orientation allows the App to launch

(dup - your update posted as I was typing)

There will be people that read mine and will be: “right like THAT will make a difference”

Then they’ll read yours and be like ok I’ll try it

So double workaround post for the win!

It works for me now. No iPad gymnastics was needed. That was a weird one, but iPad never ceases to surprise me (usually in a bad way).

If I open it in Portrait then switch apps and change to Landscape and open again it still works.
if I force quit it and try in Landscape, it still fails.
Same here, although instead of force quitting the AppStore I simply ran other stuff until it needed to reload itself.

App Store is now marked as experiencing an issue on https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/, along with Apple Music.

CAN CONFIRM... after resetting, erasing, rebooting, restoring from backup, erase and start from scratch.

PORTRAIT MODE OPENS IT, I wasted 2 hours.

It's back to working on my M1 12.9. I can fully close it out and open it again without a crash (landscape).
