Okay so I am trying to add apps to my dock using the keyboard.
For some reason I cannot seem to add apps to my dock. The dock is not full; there are only five apps on it. I tried drag and drop but it is just not doing it.

I need to get sighted assistance to do this. It is a VoiceOver bug.

I know back in the old days for iPadOS, and current iOS, you could only have four apps on your dock.
I was under the impression that you could only have four or five apps on your dock, and the rest of it would be filled up with Recent or suggested apps.
What if you try removing an app on your dock, and adding another? Does that work?

I remember I had around 7 apps in the dock, now I need to have sighted assistance to rearrange and add apps.

You could drag the app to the dock by using manual drag and drop, but not the rotor. You don't actually need seighted help.
With the rotor I can easily move apps out of the dock, but you cannot move things in there using the rotor.
You can definittely add more than four apps to dock on iPad.
