Pairing a PS4 DUALSHOCK-4 wireless controller with iPad Pro 11 2018 Not succeeding.

I know I'm replying to myself but this solved the issue:

1- plug in the controller to the iPad using an external usb-c to a port

2- press both the PS and the share buttons

3- you now connect

4- (don't understand this step but it was a guess) at the same time, charge your controller - in my case since the port has another usb-c port i just charged the iPad and DualShock 4 controller "together"

5- When the DualShock 4 gets to 100%, remove the physical cord from it

6- It will stay connected. If you press the PS button for like 10 secs, it closes down. If you press the PS button again - you reconnect. It works fine

Note: Mine used the red color for some reason - not blue. I think it has to do with all the trials I tested, perhaps. I do not know how to change the color of it, but hey - at least it connects.

I did what that support page said. It does not work.

Now is the time for creativity :)

There must be somebody else out there with the same issue. If there is and the problem was solved, I’d love to know how. Otherwise I just have to return the controller because for me, it does not work.

Ok - now I have an update -

1- When I got the controller (and if I reset it) nothing turns it on - i.e. pushing the PS button does nothing in the beginning as does pushing the PS+Share buttons simultaneously.

2- So - when I try to connect like using the PS4:

• Connect to USB port of the iPad (this requires a USB-C to USB-A connector)
• Press the PS + Share together

3- Then the controller connects to the iPad and it says connected.

4- IF I dare remove the controller from the USB port, the connection is lost. Please understand - I see the connection in the bluetooth section so the connection is apparently bluetooth (just like it is in the PS4, even when connected via wire)

How do I get it to work truly wirelessly? I want to work with it unplugged.

Thanks,

Jeff
