SkyDemon now shows the message: “Waiting for location data / This model of iPad does not have a GPS receiver.” In the Dual app I can see valid position data from the external GPS, the device is connected Everything was still working fine in November during my previous flight. I also tried to add the receiver via Connectivity → Add Bluetooth Receiver (only Bluetooth LE device ?), but without success. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you, and best wishes for the New Year.

Unfortunately there's nothing I can say to help; you just need to ensure the device is correctly paired with the operating system and functioning correctly, after which all apps will be able to use it.
