One workaround identified- From the photos app, use the option export unmodified and save the image to the files app. Then use airdrop to iPad to receive files in RAW format. But from the photos app, unable to airdrop RAW files to iPad Pro. Thank you.

Hello jtihin199,


Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. A step we recommend to perform is to temporarily set AirDrop to "Receiving Off" for both devices in Settings > General > AirDrop. Then let's restart each device and then set AirDrop to "Everyone for 10 minutes" and test to see if you can use AirDrop for your photos in RAW without any issues.


We look forward to hearing back from you with an update.


Kind regards.
