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.

What really gets me is that they are acting like they didn't know about this issue 2 months ago. It had been reported to them then, but your comments indicate that they are acting like they didn't and that they just now escalated it to that level....I have to tell our app's customers that they just can't use it with older Yamaha keyboards right now until Apple fixes it, which is not great for any business model.

Today everything works.


yesterday my iPad Pro 11” with iOS 15.5 did not work with either usb midi or usb audio connected to my Roland fp-90x keyboard


today my iPhone pro 13 iOS 15.5 and the iPad Pro worked fine


I got the iPhone working first and was surprised the iPad worked


i did have a power outage so my digital piano was disconnected from power. Normally it left plugged in but off.

I have to call them and they will do a live diagnostic while I run the apps. I'll update here after the call.


Here is my reply to Apple:


- Names of other MIDI apps that you said are affected

       - Simply Piano 

       - MIDIWrench

       - Synth One

       - Midi Sheet Music

       - MIDITrail

- Exactly what external hardware are you using including the brand and model info from the cable, external MIDI controller, etc.

        - Yamaha YPG-235

        - Yamaha NP-V60

- What software or firmware versions are you on (if devices that have onboard control and use SW/FW).

              - The keyboard I have uses internal driver and is plug and play and so are most of the keyboards mentioned in this forum: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253771323?answerId=257431253022 There are a lot of other people that are having the same issue. 


I will call the support number and do the live diagnostics

Hey Martin_Q, Here is my ticket number: 101718858459


I am switching jobs and haven't had the time to call apple so they can do a remote diagnostic and downloads the results. The reason this is hard is because you have to call apple, they do 2-3 transfer with long wait's before you get to the person that does the diagnostic. I did it once but my support rep told me they lost the data so I have to do it again. I came close to starting the test again but had to drop for a customer call. I am going to try again next week. Sorry guys but I'll keep at it. Please keep calling Apple.
