Third party keyboard input

I am using an iPad Pro connected with a physical keyboard. I am trying to use it with a third party input keyboard but it seems this function is disabled. When will this feature be available?

iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 3rd Gen, Wi-Fi

Unfortunately Apple does not yet provide hardware keyboard support for 3rd party keyboard layouts in iOS, only for those which it provides itself.
