There may be several reasons why your iPhone is not recognizing an RØDE microphone when connected via an analog TRRS cable, such as the SC4 or the SC7 cable, in conjunction with the Lightning to 3.5mm adapter. Here are some steps to troubleshoot this issue:
Verify the Lightning to 3.5mm Adapter
Ensure that you are using an official Apple Lightning to 3.5mm adapter.

-
-
Third-party or generic adapters may have different wiring configurations or may be designed exclusively for wired headphones.
-
-
Check the TRRS Cable
Confirm that you are using a TRS to TRRS cable, such as the SC4 or the SC7 cable, with your microphone.

-
With RØDE, the process is simplified as the grey side of the cable (TRRS) should be connected to your iPhone.
