Access to the USB serial profile from an iOS device may require enrolling in the MFi program and manufacturing a special custom cable. See: https://developer.apple.com/programs/mfi/
Another possible option is to use Core Bluetooth to connect to a BLE serial port bridge device (Arduino,et.al.?). Core Bluetooth comm does not require MFi.
Thank You Sir.
Great help with this.
It’s still the case that iOS has no mechanism for accessing generic serial devices. See this post for more.Was this ever solved?
Get Console has an app in the store and sells lightning to DB-9 serial (which also require an external 5v power supply), or you use their USB-C to Serial cable. I hope this is what you are looking for.
