Lightroom Classic import from iPhone not seeing photos

[j_npr]

I have an iphone 11 and and macbook pro with Sierra.  I haven't upgraded the operating system because a program that I use will not work.

I have always been able to import from my phone without difficulty until upgrading to lightroom classic subscription (was using lightroom 6 previously).  Now I get a message "no photos found".  Have spent hours researching for a fix but nothing has worked so far.  I import many photos (too many for my hard drive) to an external drive and a second copy to another backup drive.

Yes my phone is unlocked.  Looked under security and privacy settings on my mac to give Lightroom Classic permission but it wasn't listed.  I looked for files and folders checked as someone suggested and I couldn't find a way to do that.  include Subfolders is checked within  Lightroom.  I tried adding PTPCamera as someone suggested.

I'm not super techie but when I find clear instructions I try them.

I would so appreciate a hand with this.

Cheers
