See >>> If you see an ‘Accessory may not be supported’ alert - Apple Support


If you are using a Smart (folio) keyboard, the alert is typical of a faulty folio keyboard. The electrical connections that pass though the flexible fabric hinges typically fracture - this usually resulting in errors and/or the on-screen notification that you see. 


If you have a Smart Keyboard, disconnect it from your iPad.


The Smart folio keyboard itself is not repairable. The only remedy is replacement of the keyboard.
