Hi. I’m guessing that will not work, since the only purpose for the lightning port on the keyboard is to charge it. Yes, when you plug it into a Mac for the first time, it uses the USB cable to pair it via Bluetooth so you don’t have to do it manually, but other than that it serves no purpose. I’m not sure if that would function way you would like it to an iOS.
