I guess you haven’t tried installing and running Dorico on factory iPad, before restoring from backup? Whatever causes the crash must be specific either to your iPad model/processor (iPad Air 13 M2) or to some particular setting that you have. I can’t reproduce it on any of my devices.
It looks as if Dorico is crashing when trying to set up its localisation. What language is your iPad set to?

Thank you for the push, Daniel, it’s indeed related to localization.
Basically my iOS runs in English, but I set the language to Swiss German to get the dates in Swiss German and everything else in English. Setting the language to pure English solves the issue.
However Swiss German worked perfectly fine in Dorico 5.
Could you create a diagnostic report from the application menu in Dorico for iPad and attach the resulting zip file here?
I can see why the crash is occurring and I can fix it for a future update, but I’m curious why it’s crashing in the first place – it suggests something unusual and unexpected is being returned by the system when we query the locale settings. The diagnostic report should contain some logging to help me see what’s going on.
Here we go, but I’m not sure that this report is helpful as I couldn’t create it right after the crash for obvious reasons.

Thanks, that’s helpful. I can see that the locale returned was gsw_CH, which is valid, but it’s not handled by our locale mapping. At the very least we’ll be able to prevent the crash in future.
