Logic Pro for iPad not recognizing Scarlett 2i4

Logic Pro iOS doesn’t allow me to select Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 (2nd gen) as its audio input device.

It detects it, and recognizes it on the stereo output, but the audio input in Logic defaults to the built-in Microphone and doesn’t give me any options other than using Input 1 (Microphone)

Tried unplugging/rebooting, still same issue.

The Scarlett works just fine with GarageBand iOS, simply plug-n-play.

Is this maybe a driver issue or compatibility issue with the Scarlett?

iPad, iPadOS 17

Solved.

I went to the Settings for Logic Pro (not within Logic, but in the general iOS Settings) and enabled allow access to the Microphone, which was disabled by default.

After that it worked.

From Apple support about iOS Logic Pro:

"External device compatibility

Audio interfaces work with Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro on Mac computers with Apple silicon as long as they don’t require a separate software driver. This is also true for MIDI devices with Logic Pro. If your device requires a separate driver, contact the manufacturer for an updated driver."
