iPadOS does not natively support running Visual Studio Code (VSCode) as it is primarily designed for desktop operating systems like macOS, Windows, and Linux. However, you can use remote development tools or cloud-based solutions to access VSCode on an iPad. For example, you can use a service like GitHub Codespaces or a remote desktop application to connect to a machine running VSCode.

At WWDC, Apple often introduces new features and improvements to iPadOS that enhance productivity and multitasking, but running desktop applications like VSCode directly on iPadOS is not typically supported. If you're interested in development on iPadOS, you might explore using apps that support coding, such as Swift Playgrounds, which is designed for learning and experimenting with Swift code on iPad.
