Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader causes iPhone XS Max continuously restart

I just bought an Apple Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader to use with my iPhone XS Max. However, when I plug in the card reader to the lightning port, the iPhone continuously restarts about every one minute. But it works normally both on my iPad and my wife’s iPhone X.

I don’t know if it’s the problem of my iPhone Xs max? (iOS 12.1, 256GB)

iPhone XS Max, iOS 12.1

Hi all who are facing this issue.

The issue seems to be fixed with iOS12.2!

Try it and report your result.

The SD card reader works on my iPhone 6+ but not on the iPhone XR with same iOS version 12.2.
