Devanagari-QWERTY keyboard layout for IPAD Pro

I use the Devanagari-QWERTY keyboard as an "input source" in Macbook pro for creating sanskrit content in the original script which is devanagari.

I recently bought a magic keyboard along with IPAD Pro and discovered that only one keyboard option for Sanskrit and that is INSCRIPT layout.

I think Apple should provide Devanagari-QWERTY keyboard layout for IPAD also. Otherwise it makes difficult for customer with both macbookpro and ipad to switch between devices while creating sanskrit documents.

Till such time Apple comes up with a solution that harmonises keyboard layouts across devices, I would be happy to learn from the forum any possible work around to install a QWERTY keyboard for Sanskrit on the IPAD? Thanks.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

I just checked my own iPad mini, and it DOES have Devanagari Qwerty for Sanskrit available in the settings for Hardware Keyboard (tap over at the right edge to get the choices).
