I'm curious if using a camera USB/lightning connector would work, so you can charge your iPad while the Apogee is plugged in. I imagine this trick might work with FaceTime as well, but certainly isn't ideal and you are SOL if you don't have a 3.5mm port. I plugged in my Shure mic, plugged in a 3.5mm headset, connected with my cohost in Anchor (like a Skype call) which then the iPad used the 3.5mm jack for audio in and out, then I unplugged the 3.5mm headset and it actually connected and worked with the Shure. I can tell you I found a workaround with a program I use called Anchor, which has the exact same issue as FaceTime. So between Shure and Apogee not working, I'm guessing pretty much any lightning connected microphone that draws power from the iPad isn't going to work in FaceTime, Skype, or similar programs.

The Shure Motiv line doesn't work either. The only solution I foresee is to buy a USB C type hub that also includes a headphone jack and then I will be able to use all my existing equipment. PS.I upgraded to iPad Pro 2018 since.and this will not work now that the headphone jack is gone. Please do contact me if you’d like to learn more. And I hope distance learning gets more press and import over at Apple. It’s too bad Apple has not fixed this yet. Using an external mic or plugging a mic through the headphone jack alone would not allow you to hear what’s coming through. This is a VERY CLUNKY set up, but it works and this is the only way to use an external mic with an iPad that has a headphone jack (iPad prior to 2018). I prefer FaceTime for quality, but Zoom is my second choice. I use the hug to connect my iPad to have a wired connection to my internet for fastest possible speeds which is recommended when attempting to conduct music lessons (transmit complex sounds) over the internet via Skype or Zoom. This is all made possible with the iPad camera connection kit which has a lightening connector for powering the iPad and also a USB port for connecting my Anker USB/Gigabit Ethernet hub. the iRig connector then plugs into the headphone jack of the iPad allowing me to listen via headphones and transmit via mic. I use an iPad Pro, External Mic with XLR connection that fits into my iRig connector which also has headphone jack. I will post the images here for anyone who might be interested and you can, of course, contact me if you would like to brainstorm other solutions or learn more about my solution. However I have created a work around that is VERY CLUNKY, expensive and requires a lot of equipment. No app that uses video conferencing such as FaceTime, Skype, Zoom, etc.

For example, I am a piano teacher, but I can not use an external mic on an iOS device to teach long-distance.

I have submitted requests to Apple about this especially as it related to education.
