My Boya lavalier mic, with a TRRS plug, does not work with my iPhone X. It worked perfectly with my my previous iPhone 6, and I believe it worked fine with my iPhone X, when I used it with a lightning-to-TRRS adapter. But it seems like one of the recent IOS upgrades has removed the capability to connect an external mic. Has anyone experienced the same thing? Does anyone know of a solution?
I got the answer to my question. Went into Genius Bar today and used Apple's Lightning-to-3.5mm adapter, and my microphone works fine. I purchased the $9.00 adapter from Apple and my problem is solved. The problem: The inexpensive lightning-to-3.5mm adapters I purchased through Amazon will only work for headphones, and will not allow microphones to be recognized by my iPhone. The Apple adapter was made to comply with Apple's specs, and allows the microphone to be recognized. Hope this helps someone.

Ensure that you plug your Mic to the Lightening Adapter first then insert the Lightening adapter to the iPhone
Sequence is important. It will not read the Mic if you change the sequence
Let me repeat, If you insert the Lightening adapter into iPhone and then plug the mic into it, will not work.
Lightning to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter
I am having the same problem, I tested with an external microphone with the built in lightning cable, and also a microphone with the aux cable to lightning adapter. Nothing seems to work to allow the iphone X to register voice via an external microphone. Any information or solutions would be great.
I have tried exactly the sequence you stated, without any success. Have you tried that sequences lately? With IOS 12.1.4?
Can I connect an external microphone to an iPhone X?
