App updating broken on 7th gen iPad since 18.3.2

Since iOS 18.3.2 the updating of apps is completely broken - i.e., the communication of the iPad with the Apple servers to find apps that have updates. Been broken for about 2 weeks.

Problem observed:

App store check for updated apps = "spinner"

My account - select "Apps" = "spinner"

App store - select "Arcade" = "cannot connect - retry"

Impact to customer: Unable to update any apps nor check list of apps under my account.

Hardware and software:

iPad: 7th gen, 128GB (96GB free)

iOS: 18.3.2

All iPad apps on the iPad work.

WiFi works fine - tested multiple access points

Actions taken:

• cold restart (numerous times)
• refreshed local router and cold started router and network interface
• signed out and back in to app store (numerous times)

My other iPad Pro works just fine getting and updating apps. Both our iPhone 14s work 100% as well. It is ONLY this iPad 7th gen that the app store has a problem.
