New GameInput for iPad not working (Beta 23.0.0.46)

[KarlCfs]

Hi,

Awesome that GameInput has been added for iOS! Unfortunately I found a serious bug:

I have a MAD CATZ C.T.R.L.i bluetooth controller (Mad Catz | GameSmart C.T.R.L.i )

On my iPhone 6 it works perfectly and I get the following button id's:

control.id=="Button A"

control.id=="Button B"

control.id=="Button X"

control.id=="Button Y"

Using the same controller on my iPad Mini 2 I get the following button id's for the same buttons:

control.id=="<_GCControllerButtonInput: 0x17003e8e0>"

control.id=="<_GCControllerButtonInput: 0x17003f440>"

control.id=="<_GCControllerButtonInput: 0x17003f420>"

control.id=="<_GCControllerButtonInput: 0x17003f400>"

etc.

Only controls that are working on the iPad is the Thumbstick and DirectionPad.

Hi Karl,

iPad Mini 2 device version is below 9.0 and GameInput API supports iOS devices running on version 9.0 or higher.

Please refer the Release Notes link:

Hi,

Thank you for the answer. Why is GameInput support limited to version 9 or higher when MFI controllers have been supported in iOS since version 7? The Thumbsticks and DirectionPads work as expected so why can't the ABXY-button work the same? Seems like an unnecessary limitation to only support iOS9?
