Please Clarify your Device:

What's your device? I see you've posted this in the MacBook Air forums, yet the device you've provided is an iPhone XR.

-------

Troubleshooting Keyboards:

A. Enable Bluetooth:

Be certain that Bluetooth is enabled, when trying to connects (if a bluetooth keyboard)

B. Restart the Device:

Try restarting the device.

C. Reset your SMC and your NVRAM:

(Applies to Intel-Based Only Macs): Sometimes changes (i.e. formats) are made to the system and then settings (i.e. keyboard) become corrupted, technically. So, reset both on your Mac. So, reset the SMC and reset the NVRAMor PRAM. Then, try connecting once more. It might take three tries. to fix this. So, be certain you have the time to do so.
