I'm trying to connect my Circuit Playground Express (CPE) to my iPad using a Lightning to USB converter. The converter works fine with a standard USB flash drive. When I plug in the CPE the systme initially properly recognizes the drive label as CPLAYBOOT. If I'm quick I can even read the contents of the boot files.

However after about 2 seconds it disappears from the list of folders and is inaccessible. I updated to UF2 bootloader to 3.10.0 but the problem persists. My iPad is running OS version 13.5.0.

When I'm quick enough to try copying a file to the CPE, I get the following message on the iPad: "No valid file provider found for com.apple.../CPLAYBOOT."

Any solutions out there?

BTW my goal is to run makecode on the iPad and easily download the result to my CPE.

  • Hi did you ever resolve this issue? I'm also hoping to be able to program a Circuit Playground Express from iOS – Jeff Dec 02 '21 at 21:49
  • See [this thread](https://forum.makecode.com/t/circuit-playground-express-on-mobile-devices/799/18) on Microsoft MakeCode forum as well – Jeff Dec 02 '21 at 21:50
  • Sorry, no. But the other post implies that someone got it working. Hope you find a solution. – Jeremy Woodland Dec 12 '21 at 19:29
