Same Problem with my Nexus 7.  I have tried multiple cables. "upgraded" to DJI GO 4 v. 4.1.9 (333-gpTablet).  Remote will connect to AC, but not tablet.

If you can control the gimbal by the gimbal wheel on the RC, check if there is any info about the RC and drone on About of General Settings, please try routes below:
If there is no info, the connection failed. Try to replug the side USB cable, or unplug the side cable and plug your original device's cable on the bottom port; reinstall the app; try another device if you have.
If there is info of the RC and drone, try to re-upgrade the RC again.
Please keep us updated if the issue persists, any screenshots or videos are appreciated.

I have the same issue. I don't think the lightning cable is the problem as it works great with ios 10.

Bad news : this does not work with my iphone 6.

Sometimes with ios updates it takes more than one attempt,  try uninstall, reinstall again and also try multiple hard reboot with you iPhone.

Out of the clear blue sky,  my Nexus 7 now works.  What I did was to reboot tablet multiple times.  Used same cables that did not work before.  I use bottom usb on controler. DJI GO 4 v. 4.1.9 does not startup when controller is turned on, but will recognize tablet when I unplug and then plug usb back in.

Try turning on the AC then the RC once they are connected then plug in your Nexus 7 and then open the app and see the results. Works for my android devices i have here.

After I updated to iOS 11 I deleted the GO4 app, rebooted my iOS devices (iPhone 6 and Mini 4) and then reinstalled to GO4 app. everything works fine after doing all that

I confirm : this works for me after uninstalling the app, restarting the iphone and reinstalling the app.
Thanks a lot for this trick.
However, DJI should communicate about this trick. I don't think this is normal to restart after unistalling.

Exact same problem.  

Had an iPhone 7.  Upgraded to iOS 11 and have latest go app in the App Store.  No apparent problems.

Traded in iPhone 7 for an iPhone 8 Plus.  Restored phone to backup from previous phone as any person would do.  GO app does not connect to remote controller as described by the OP.

It is NOT a cable issue.

Phone chimes when the cable is plugged in like you’d expect.  The app never connects or shows any visual indication.

I have reinstalled the App several times.  I have uninstalled the app, done a hard reboot and reinstalled the app to no avail.

I have the same problem and nothing seems to solve it:
I have an iphone 6S and a mavic. I bought a mavic 3 weeks ago and i had already my iphone with iOS 11 Public Beta 1 and everything went fine.  It connected successfully with the cable provided with the remote.
Today i upgraded my iphone to the final iOS 11 and I can't connect the app to the remote.
I have tried to unistall the app, then restart. then reinstalled it again. no success; i have also tried to use the second remote USB port and iphone lightning cable and nothing.
With the provided cable and standard port (that worked previosuly fine) i see that the iphone starts charging for a second when i plug the cable, but then it stops, so i guess something has changed with the final iOS and compatibility.

Any ideas?

i got a message from DJI support saying that for  now iOS 11 is not yet supported.
Just don't understand how they won't prepare in advance: There are two mobile OS in the market: iOS and Android. Not that hard
iOS 11 developer beta was realeased in june and public beta in august. should be time enough.
Last year same happened and i could not use my phantom at the time for one month.
not professional at all

I’m having the same problem here on iOS 11 iPhone 7 Plus 128. I initially upgraded to iOS 11 and it was working just fine. But due to some other issue with my phone I had to do a complete backup and restore. After restore it just won’t connect anymore. I’ve also noticed now that the charge indicator only turns on for a second after I plug it in. It’s not making the connection somehow.

ROLLBACK to iOS 10.3.3 while you still can. Apple currently allow you to goback but not so long. DO NOT update your iTunes on Mac/PC if the version is lower than 12.7 because there is no access to App store in the iTunes version. On your PC/Mac do not update the DJI Go 4 if you have the version less than 4.1.8. kept in your PC/Mac. After rollback to 10.3.3 you may try DJI Go 4.1.11 to see if the problem is solved. Load it using App Store on your mobile.
If you still have problem, install it offline via iTunes on PC if previous version is still there.
BEWARE...downgrading to iOS 10.3.3 you will lost everything unless you previously upgrade via PC. You can restore to lower ios version but cannot restore app data from higher version backup.

I am here because I have issues lol - Bought my mavic in July with iOS no disconnect issues ever! Recently upgraded to iOS11 and DJI updates had 3 disconnects in one flight! Only wait to resolve is to pull the cable from the iOS device (ipad or iphone 6s plus) and reconnect it with the app open. If I close the app and reopen it with the cable connected still says disconnected.
To add I can replicate a disconnect on the app but running ios11 screen recording which instantly disconnect the app.

Also for the first time every got CPU overload message on iPad!

So someone has screwed something up somewhere.

Controller stays connected - app doesnt.

Now not reliable.

I upgraded also to ios11 with iPhone 7, and Go4 says not connected as most above experienced... pulled the side cable a few times out of the phone and then shows live feed... most of the time. But FFS Apple and Dji, do you actually TEST THESE THINGS before release, there should NOT be any issues here! This is 2017, how can a huge corporate possibly put out anything other than perfect working software?!

Hi all,

I'm having similar issues.
iPhone 7 plus
iOS11.0.1 public release
DJI Go 4, 4.1.12
Latest Mavic Pro firmware

I receive the disconnected error on my screen, no SD card, gimbal not connected and battery stats not displaying.

I'm not going to put this thing in the error until I can see all of these functions working.

Tried deleting and reinstalling the app, restarting the device, reinstalling the app, changed lightning cables. Nothing seems to be working.

Any help is appreciated!

Khalestorm,

I've been working on this same problem for months with no solution. I have the same set up as you except an iPhone 7. Have you tried the DJI assistant 2 to update your RC firmware? This is the issue I'm having, nothing connects to the RC. Not the Mavic through the DJI GO4 app or through DJI Assistant 2.

If you find a solution please share.

Hello West1,

I’m having a similar problem using an iPad mini 4. The Mavic and controller power up and connect but when I try to open the go4 app it goes to a non responsive login screen. I sent an email to North American customer service. The last response is the current version of the go4 app is not compatible with iOS V. 11. I’m actually running 11.0.1. So I guess we wait for the next dji update to the go4 app. I did find that the litchi app still works fine. I did a test flight from my back yard yesterday to confirm.

Cheers,

Rovacat

Update,
I've updated both the Mavic and the RC to v01.04.0000 and still no luck. Seeing a grey disconnected screen when I'm in the app. Gimbal showing disconnected, No SD card error, when I have an SD card installed.
