Xbox Elite Controller 2 - Not working on IOS (iPad/iPhone)

I just spent $200 on the top of the line Xbox Elite Controller (v2), that claims to be supported on IOS, but it will not detect the Bluetooth controller. Everyone else is having the same issue and its been like 6 months, when will this be fixed/supported??? Very frustrating

Xbox elite 2 controller not compatible with iOS Can we please have Xbox elite 2 wireless controller support for iOS? It has been so nice being able to play Fortnite on my new iPad Pro with 120fps but the experience is ruined because there is no way to connect elite series 2 controller. Also the game is not playable with the regular Xbox controller because the fire button gets stuck and the iPad does not respond to the inputs as well as the Xbox. Please help!
