i am unable to install IOS 12.3 beta on my new iPad Mini 5. It fails validation saying it is no longer connected to the internet. I have reset the Mini, my WiFi, deleted and re-downloaded the update file to no avail. My iPhone XS, iPad Mini 4, iPod Touch 6 and iPad Air 2 all updated to the beta just fine. Has anyone successfully installed 12.3 beta on their Mini 5?
Got a tip for us?

Thanks, I guess I am missing something. If you mean loading the IPSW update file that is on the iPad using iTunes, how do I access the file? I know it's in Documents, but I can't get to it. When I do <SHIFT> + Check for Update, the file menu doesn't show the iPad files other than photos. Sorry to be a noob, but I haven't needed to update this way, till now.
Hmm. You need a Mac/PC with iTunes 12.8 or higher to install iOS update using ipsw. With all the stuff of this new iPad can do, installing software update using ipsw is not one of them.
I submitted an issue report with logs to Apple while I was having the problem. If I hear back from them I will post the info here.
