Download in accessory firmware

I connect my IPhone 12 Pro Max to a TV HDMI slot with the Apple Lighning Digital AV Adapter.


This allows me to watch vide on the TV from my iPhone. Also to watch movies, etc.


Since the last IOS update this does not seem to be working and I get the message "Downloading accessory firmware. Your accessory will not function until the download completes. OK".


However nothing is downloading and still cannot connect the iPhone to the TV via the adapter lead.


Anyone suggest what is going on here ?

I've started to experience this issue as well. it seems specific to the phone based on my testing with other iphones. The accessory firmware it's referring to is the HDMI adapter (the official apple one). Is there any support for this?
