Any way to install iPadOS without Catalina/Xcode?

Yes, I tried installing Catalina on my Mac. I’m not trying to say it was its’ fault, but my SSD bricked in the process (thankfully I’m still under AppleCare+...). So I cannot install this over iTunes right now - Apple says 3-5 days for my repair to be complete, and while I -did- ask if I could install the betas while at the Apple Store, they are apparently forbidden from installing any beta software (ie, Catalina and Xcode) onto their store hardware. Yes, I do have other Macs, but they are older and not able to run Catalina.


So......


Is there ANY way to install these betas onto my iPad Pro current gen and/or iPhone XS Max without Catalina?


Thanks!

You can install iOS 13 without Catalina/XCode using Mobile Device pack (got that through a 3rd party - could not find a link from Apple)
