I have an 11 inch iPad running iPad )S 18.6.2. Trying to attach lightning SD card reader with an adapter. I get a message that it won't work because is draws too much power. It also won't connect to my MacBook Pro. with out the adapter, it will connect to my iPhone 12 Pro wit no problem. Must be an adapter problem.
iPad Air, iPadOS 18
What adapter are you using exactly?
Then iPhone 12 has a Lighting connector, so yes, removing the adapter from the equation and the Sd card reader working, points to the adapter as the issue.
Also, do note, with iOS 18.5 and later, iPads have been known to have issues reading SD cards regardless of adapter.
but, yeah the adapter has an issue if the iPad says its using too much power.
It may be a better option to just go for a USB-C card reader instead of trying to use an adapter.

I will have a look at the USB C reader you suggested.
