I read that Calibre cannot work directly with current versions of IOS because Apple won't give 3rd party software access. This may be a dumb question but there are at least a half-dozen programs (such as Syncios) that run on Windows and yet can access the ebook directory on an iPad with the current IOS (12.xxxxx). Why can't Calibre do the same?

I know I can work around things with a kludge by having Calibre save ebooks to a directory and then having Syncios copy them to the iPad but this does not give a true synchronization and is tedious to boot.
