Use CircuitPython devices on iPadOS 13.1

Good news! The newly released iPadOS 13.1 works with CircuitPython USB devices just as well as iOS 13. This means you can copy/edit and run code on a Circuit Playground Express directly from an iPad using the same steps outlined for iPhone here.

This has been tested to work with the latest stable release of CircuitPython (v4.1.0) on Circuit Playground Express. Users running CircuitPython 5.0.0-alpha.4 will be unable to replace files on the CIRUITPY drive from iPad and should instead paste/rename code.py – or simply load CircuitPython v4.1.0. Keep an eye out for our forthcoming Learn Guide with all the details.
