lightning to 3.5mm adapter for iPhone SE3

I bought a Lightning to 3.5mm adapter to use with my 3rd Generation iPhone SE, but the phone says it's an incompatible accessory. This doesn't make sense. What's going on?

Search for accessories that have completed MFi certification. Once an accessory has completed MFi certification requirements and is reported to Apple as sold/distributed, it will be searchable in our public database of authorized Lightning, headset, charging, iAP-enabled, and Find My network-enabled accessories.
