Lightroom Mobile for iPad does not properly recognize Nikon Z9 RAW files - No Adobe RAW profiles!

When importing RAW files from my Nikon Z9 into the mobile ecosystem, Adobe raw profiles, Adobe Color, Adobe Standard, etc., appear to be available and working in Lightroom Desktop and  Lightroom Classic, but not in Lightroom Mobile on my iPad. When I import RAW images from my Nikon Z9 into the mobile ecosystem the Adobe Standard profile is shown in Lightroom desktop, but "Matrix" is displayed in the mobile environment on my iPad and no Adobe RAW profiles are available. If I subsequently change profile from Adobe Standard to Adobe Color on my desktop, Lightroom Mobile on my iPad flags that profile is missing for this device. This appears to be a bug in Lightroom for iPad, or that Nikon Z9 RAW files are not fully supported yet?

Ok, I fixed the problem by deleting LR app on my iPad and downloading it again via the App Store. Now all Adobe RAW profiles are working with my Nikon Z9 RAW files.

As update, as of today, the seven Adobe RAW profiles are now visible in Lightroom for iPad with my Nikon Z9 RAW files, however, if I try to select any profile other than Adobe Standard I get a missing profile flag and the message, "the profile Adobe Standard that was applied to this photo isn't available on this device and will be changed if you continue editing". If I select the Adobe Standard profile then "Matrix" appears as profile name.
