Lightening Digital AV adapter (HDMI) not working with iOS 12

I bought a third party adapter that didn’t work on any device so bought legit Apple adapter for three times the price - still doesn’t work!

Come on @Apple this MUST be a common issue - looking at the Google device as Apple just don’t seem to care I’m afraid...

None of these things work. Something changed with iOS 12! I am a professional speaker and I have used VGA and HDMI adaptors for years with all of my Apple devices. Now, these will not work. @Apple knows this is the case. When is this issue going to be fixed?

I had all of the problems described in this thread while using a third-party cable clone. I finally went to an Apple Store and bought a new Apple adapter. It has worked flawlessly. Apple has made this a smart adapter that can adjust to new iOS releases to remain compatible, leaving the hard-wired clones behind. It is well worth the price.?

I had the same problem. The adapter charged fine but the hdmi wouldn’t work to my tv. I plugged both the hdmi and usb cable to the adapter and connected both to tv together and it worked. No clue why.

That was it. Secondary USB-lighting cable must supply power to the Apple AV Adapter. I had the same problem on my iPhone XS and daughters iPhone 7 and could not get the Apple AV adapter to work with any of the suggestions above with the exception to this last one. I plugged in the secondary USB-lighting cable to a standard wall adapter and life is good. No need to connect the USB cable to the TV. My only guess is that previously the AV adapter was able to grab power from the phone directly over the primary lighting connector, but not any more on IOS 12

I just got a brand new adapter, upgraded my iPhone to the latest OS 12.1.2, plugged the adapter into the wall to provide secondary power, and still have the problems described I this thread. The only solution is powering off and the restarting the iPhone.

Try connecting the secondary USB-lighting cable to a power. As noted earlier. I was able to get my XS and 7 both working when the Apple AV Adapter received external power. howardih needed to restart phone. I'd try both.

Ive think ive worked it out

plug The device to your TV when only your phone is on so that you can see your apps on the TV screen then open Netflix choose the film and it will play if you start Netflix with a film and then connect to the TV it will not work only audio

I hope this helps you

I’m having the same issue after doing the update. Were you able to figure anything out?

This works for me. Settings - Display - switch from standard to zoom.

Unfortunately the iPhone X doesn’t have the standard or zoom option. Anyone figure anything else out to get this working again?

I was using a projector with my iPad through an HDMI adapter. Since I updated to iOS 12 it no longer works. I’ve seen some say that the problem can be resolved by changing the display setting to zoomed on iPhone. That feature is not present on iPad. Please fix this issue. Removing compatibility is really frustrating.

so yes this worked IPhone 7 Plus running iOS 12.2 it wasn’t working an hour ago.

I came to this thread. I changed my display view like suggested and it now works.

Note: it doesn’t matter if it’s on zoomed or standard. Just change it—and remember to hit the word SET on the top right corner after making the switch.

CHECK your adapter now.

It should work.

And you can even switch back to standard or zoomed again and it will still work.

Somehow it just requires you to make that one change and then you can change it back.

this zoom display change worked for me - thank you for posting!
