Well, some times the keyboard show up after opening notepad.

However, if you sent any keyboard key from your board, the keyboard disappears in iOS.

Try this step.

1. Connect your HID keyboard peripheral (your board) with the iOS device.

2. Open notepad. If the keyboard does not shows up, tap the screen.

Then the keyboard may come up.

3. However, if you send "hello" with your board,

the keyboard never comes up (even you tap the screen)

unless you disconnect the peripheral or send a consumer report key.

It is just how the iOS is implemented.

Also, even you send this "consumer report key" when you connect your board with an Android device,

the key does not shows up.

After connecting with an Android device, you need to change some settings manually to pop up the keyboard.

//// Long story short.

After connection,

1. iOS - needs consumer report

2. Android - needs extra settings
