Third Party Keyboards Does Not Work

After upgrading my iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard, third-party keyboards no longer work. I use a phonetic keyboard for the Armenian language and am now having issues writing in Armenian.

Apple does not provide hardware keyboard support for 3rd party keyboards yet. If you are trying to type Armenian with a hardware keyboard, you only have the choice of two layouts -- HM Qwerty and Western Qwerty.

Or are you saying that your 3rd party screen keyboard is not longer available?

Tell us what you have on the list at settings > general > keyboard > keyboards.

Which 3rd party keyboard exactly have you added to your device?

Under "General - Keyboard - Keyboards," I can add keyboards, but it does not appear under "Hardware Keyboard."

3rd party keyboards never appear under Hardware Keyboards. If you want to type Armenian that way, you need to use Apple's keyboard, and the hardware settings will look like this:

I previously had an iPad 10 with a Magic Keyboard and added a third-party phonetic layout, which worked perfectly.

Do you mean on the screen? I have been using 3rd party keyboards for many years and they have never been usable with a hardware keyboard. Only the Apple supplied keyboards have hardware counterparts. I would agree this is something Apple should fix. To ask them to do that, you can use

Are you still able to use Armenian Phonetic as a screen keyboard?

I can add the Armenian Phonetic layout in the Apple settings, but it's quite different from the one we used before, which is an issue.

Could you indicate which of Apple's hardware layouts (HM or Western Qwerty) is best for you and provide a picture of the one which you used before (or describe how it differs from what Apple is providing)?

HM

Western
