Hello, I have to develop an application for a customer running on iOS (iPhone). The app needs to read data from and send data to a custom HID-Device connected via USB-C.

As I read the docs, I thought HIDDriverKit (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/hiddriverkit) would be perfekt for that, but it is only available for macOS.

Is there anything similar for iOS?

Or can I go with DriverKit (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/driverkit)? Are ther any code examples? Has anybody done something like that before?

Is it possible to acces custom HID-Device on iOS at all?

Any help appreciated!!!

No, not currently. Note that the most recent documentation release state that DriverKit is available on "iOS 16+", but I believe that is simply a mistake that we need to correct (r.129616350).
