Accessory not supported

I have an iPad Pro 12 inch that keeps popping up "accessory not supported" with no mention of what isn't supported. I have Apple's official keyboard for it. Bluetooth is on, but nothing is connected (as in nothing that could be connected has power running for it to connect. I do have a Pencil for it, but it's sitting too far away to register on the iPad.)

I have done a couple of reboots, and had Bluetooth off and had the message pop up anyway.

Is there any way to find out what accessory is causing the issue? Or just dismiss the alert permanently?

iPad Pro Wi-Fi, iOS 11.2.6, null

Ipad and Smart Keyboard I have an iPad Pro 2017 12" that my daughter gave me and its Smart Keyboard. My iPad tells me that "Accessory is not supported". I don't know what to do. I have tried turning off the iPad and then reattaching the keyboard, but that doesn't work. I have also cleaned the magnetic links and that hasn't worked either. I don't know what to do. My daughter says she had no problem with it. My iPad is up to date. HELP!

Apple keyboard accessory error I bought the Apple keyboard accessory and used it with no problem. With the recent IOS versions, the iPad says it does not recognize the accessory and becomes totally non- responsive, until i detach the fold up keyboard. this is a nuisance as the fold up keyboard also is a stand. i tolerated this thinking Apple will fix the software as surely U should be aware of this by now.
