Midi stopped working with iOS 15.4

Is anyone else having any issues with midi programs not working via camera connection kits to their music workstations via usb connected to the keyboard? My Yamaha M08 worked perfectly until iOS 15.4. All of my midi apps freeze, then crash with this update.

iPad, iPadOS 15

This is weird. All my devices with 15.4.1 stoped working after update. Now I’m using a din cable and it works back on all devices.


These are the possibilities I tried here.

Cable

USB-B to USB-A with Lighting Camera Adapter or USB-B to Lightning (Agvee)

Devices

iPhone 13, iPhone 8 or iPad Air 2

iOS 15.3.1 work.

After iOS 15.4 don’t work.


Cable

USB-B to USB-A with USB-C Camera Adapter or USB-B to USB-C (Ugreen)

Device

iPad Air 4

iOS 15.3.1 works

After iOS 15.4 doesn't work.


MIDI DIN to USB-A with USB-C Camera Adapter or lightning Camera Adapter

All devices are working. Tried on iPhone 8, 12, iPad Air 2, 3 and 4. All with 15.4.1.


I'm using a DOREMiDi Brand cable. This is the only way I found to use SimplyPiano for while, at least, until Apple fix this problem.

Do you work with iPad or iPhone?

Which models do you work with?


You know

I solve my problem, i just change the keyboard, my 17 y. old Yamaha for a new Casio oxygen 61 m-audio.

It works for me also with a Yamaha P-125 B

And also update my iPad Pro 2017, iPhone 11 to iOS 15.4.1

And everything, all apps I have are working just fine


God look!


(I think that in the new iOS update is not included the old MIDI system)

So I started doing inventory on the boards that I play. My travel board Yamaha Mx61 doesn’t work. I’ll get the IRig for that situation. My Yamaha P115 does along with a M Audio midi controller(it’s older). I have to check a Casio Privia on Saturday to see if it works. But based on what I’ve seen keyboards released 2015 or later are not affected and the one before 2015 are affect which is weird because Midi 2.0 didn’t come out until 2020. Hope this info helps

Same problem here.


I can no longer use SimplyPiano with my iPad Air 4.


If I start SimplyPiano with the keyboard connected the app crashes at startup, if I connect the keyboard after SimplyPiano is started, the keyboard is not presented to the app.


I tested another MIDI app which is moog, but it can not see any MIDI keyboard.


Anyone knows if this behavior is occurring with some versions of MIDI? Or, is this occurring with all MIDI devices?

I have videos, that I made showing the errors, that I uploaded to dropbox. If the agent you're working with would like access, they can contact me and I'll share them. I have also been working with a developer, who is the head of GeoShred and he has been talking with Apple as well. Hopefully, if enough people keep driving this issue, they will come out with a fix sooner rather than later.
