On macOS Monterey, the latest version of Xcode is 14.2. In this version, the latest available iPadOS is iPadOS 16.2. My test iPad 5 has been upgraded to 16.4 and I can't use it anymore for testing. How to go back to 16.2 on my iPad?
I have no backup. I don't mind losing everything on the iPad. I just want to re-install my iPad with iPadOS 16.2. How do I do it?
Hello,
You need a signed iOS firmware (aka .ipsw file) to restore your device at a specific version. But when a new iOS version is released, older version is quickly unsigned (quickly mean few days after newly version is released).
Moreover, restoration will lead to a loose of data. You should have a backup.
