Why are my apps resetting and losing content on iPad after iPadOS 17.7.7 update ?

Same, apps lose settings each time they are restarted and permissions needed on each restart.

Same thing happening with me , it’s extremely frustrating

Same here (iPad Pro 10,5, German iPadOS).

The reason could be (what I found out after some "research"): Apps have no right to save or get access (permanently) to the iCloud.

I use BusyCal and have to enter an app specific password after quitting (?) the app. Same with GoodLinks (reopen shows always the Update text for the newest version), and another app looses the option "Synch with iCloud" (choosing it works, but only until I quit and restart the app).

Same here. Since the upgrade to iPadOS 17.7.7, most apps are losing their content and must be reconfigured after every restart of the app. Apple's own apps have the same problem, f.i. the Books app loses all information about reading and display preferences. Banking apps must be reconfigured every time with two-factor-authentication, which is extremely annoying.

I saw this today after doing the 17.7.7 update on my 10.5" ipad pro. The kindle app kept forgetting my font changes, and google maps keeps asking me what colour theme it should use when launched.

If you have encountered a bug, you and anyone else that encounter the issue should submit a Bug Report via Apple's Product Feedback portal.  For iPad and iPadOS:

Feedback - iPad - Apple

When submitting your Bug Report, please ensure that you include details of your iPad model and installed version of iPadOS within the body-text of your report along with details of the problem. Do not rely upon the pick-list - as this rarely includes the current version of iPadOS.

Every Bug Report counts. Unless reports are submitted (with adequate detail), Apple may not assign resources to investigate and correct the issue.

In addition [i.e., not as a substitute] to submitting a Bug Report, you might also consider seeking assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page; you can initiate and manage your support cases from Apple devices using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

Same Here, in The Netherlands the National government authentication tool DigiD had to be re-registered after app restarts and all Banking apps lose device registration! Impossible to work on this version! When is Apple issuing a fix for this???

See this link for why it's broken. Let's hope Apple will have a fix soon.

Many apps are broken in iPadOS 17.7.7 due… - Apple Community

No problems here.

Same here. My wife lost all the game scores. Other apps seems to work properly. (iPad 6 generation)

iPadOS 17.7.8 has been released - and is now available for download.
