Hi,
The company I'm working at has made an accessory that we've gotten to work pretty well with Android tablets. I've been tasked with making it work with iOS devices now.
We've sent Apple the paperwork to join the MFi program, but it hasn't been approved yet so I'm still a bit in the dark and I'm wondering:
Do we need to build any additional ports on our accessory? Right now it just has a female USB 2.0 port... Android devices can be connected via USB to mini-USB or to micro-USB or Samsung's goofy propertary port or whatever. Will will be able to similarly use a USB to lightning cable or is there some reason we'll need to acquire male lightning jacks (not sure if I'm using the correct terms - I'm much more a software member of the team than a hardware person.)
