DJI Osmo Mobile 8 — DockKit motor control APIs not working (setAngularVelocity, setOrientation)

  I'm developing an iOS app that uses Apple's DockKit framework to control gimbals. I've tested with the Insta360 Flow 2 Pro and the DJI Osmo Mobile 8.

  The Flow 2 Pro supports all DockKit motor control APIs — 
setAngularVelocity
, 
setOrientation
, 
setLimits 
— which lets my app do manual pan/tilt control via a virtual joystick.

  The Osmo Mobile 8 (model DS308, firmware 1.0.0) connects fine via DockKit and reports as docked, but 
every motor control API fails 
with "The device doesn't support the requested
  operation":

  - 
setAngularVelocity 
— fails
  - 
setOrientation(relative: true) 
— fails
  - 
setLimits 
— fails

  The only thing that works is Apple's system tracking (
setSystemTrackingEnabled(true)
) for automatic face/body following.

  This means there's no way for third-party apps to do manual gimbal control (pan/tilt via joystick) on the Osmo 8 through DockKit — only automatic tracking works.

  
Questions:

  1. Is anyone else seeing the same limitation with the Osmo 8 and DockKit?
  2. Has DJI confirmed whether manual motor control via DockKit is intentionally unsupported, or is this a firmware issue that might be addressed in an update?
  3. Does the DJI Mimo app use DockKit for its tracking, or does it use a proprietary Bluetooth protocol?
