CAC Reader for iPad Pro

Has anybody who is familiar with CAC readers had any success with finding one that is compatible with the iPad Pro? If possible some input from Apple would be excellent.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 13

Unless you are able to identify a reader designed for use with iPad/iPhone - that explicitly carries the Apple “Made for iPad/iPhone” and has a corresponding App that provides support - you’re not going to be able to connect a CAC reader.


As with all third-party USB devices that require installation of a driver, CAC readers are not yet supported by iPad.
