Latest information about iOS USB device access

Hello, Apple Developer Forums.

I have a question regarding the following thread that I found on this forum some time ago. [https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/119030)

This thread mentioned that iOS does not support accessing common USB accessories. Specifically, I was told that if an accessory connects through a high-level framework, it can communicate with the accessory through that framework, but there is no general USB API.

However, this information is a little old (posted in 2019), so I would like to see if the same can be said for current iOS (especially the latest iOS 17). Isn't there a general USB API even in current iOS?

I would appreciate it if someone could provide me with the latest information. Thank you.
