I hve just bought a new Generation iPad and am struggling to activate my Gmail accounts on it. Every time I try, I get into an endless loop, with Google requests to validate my identity that go nowhere. Apple support say it’s a Google issue that they can’t fix and one senior advisor told me a lot of other Apple users have complained about the same issue. Does anyone know of a fix to the problem?

Perhaps you may try and use the Gmail iPadOS app
to access Google Mail & maybe Accounts from there.
An older iPad has vintage GMail App; newer iPhone
has newer-ish iOS app. (iPad did not have iPadOS.)
Gmail - Email by Google on the App Store - Apple
//apps.apple.com/us/app/gmail-email-by-google/id422689480
This will see updates, either from google or maybe apple.
Mine sees both; if I go looking. One may hold precedents.
(And Apple Mail has some great features; but never used it.)
Go to Gmail and make sure that you get Gmail to write a passkey to the invisible keychain. You might have to do it with browser like Chrome or Brave. Once it is set in the keychain it might work.
