iPadOS Version: 16.3

OneNote has been checked for updates and there are no new versions. How to fix it?
 

Answer:

Error code: 0xE000006C cig68 30115, since May 2025, users have reported this error on Android OneNote, Mac OneNote, Windows Office OneNote, and iPhone OneNote.
It has been confirmed that it is due to the aging of the system, which restricts users from updating to the latest version of OneNote. As a result, these versions are all older. You'll need to update your OneNote version.
 
As of May 2025, the latest official version of iPadOS is iOS 18, which released on June 11, 2024.
OneNote, on the other hand, only updates the latest 2 iOS versions, so only in iOS 18 and 17 will OneNote be checked for updates.
Your phone is now iPadOS 16 version. So you won't be able to check for the new OneNote version.
 
At the same time, in the Apple App Store, OneNote also has a minimum iPadOS version requirement:
 
Microsoft OneNote Version 16.97
Compatibility
iPhone
Requires iOS 17.0 or later.
iPad
Requires iPadOS 17.0 or later.
Apple Watch
Requires watchOS 10.0 or later.
Apple Vision
Requires visionOS 1.0 or later.

Solution：

First find out if your iPad will get stuck when you update to iPadOS 17, if not, you can update to iPadOS 17, and then you can update OneNote to 16.97.
The new version is normal.
