What happened to smart cards in Remote Desktop for iOS?

Question

Authentication with smart cards (e.g. PIV/CAC) seems to have disappeared from the iOS/iPadOS version of Remote Desktop. I used this briefly with an AVD and it was great, but then I could no longer find the setting and the prompts were gone. Am I missing a setting?

• You might check if Smart Card service SCardSvr is running or not.
• Trying to restart Smart Card service using the command suggested in Smart Card Troubleshooting (Windows) | Microsoft Learn And there’s a similar thread for your reference: Smart Card Reader not able to detect in remote host - Microsoft Q&A
