I have a game controller that uses that same language. It stopped working after I upgraded to 13.4. It allows mapping buttons for controls. It’s called Shooting Plus V3. It uses a snapshot of the game with buttons present, and the V3 interface allows you to place controller functions on the screenshot buttons. Then the controller executes that function. Too much info most likely, but whatever changed in 13.4 stopped the device from even connecting. Maybe support for mouse and keyboard?

Apple is responsible for this

Feedback for Apple goes here >>> http://www.apple.com/feedback/


Not in this technical support community.


App developers can't do anything if apple not allow Bluetooth to touch screen service to run..

I'll bet they find another way.


If they don't, their business model was deeply flawed. Wholly dependent on an iOS feature they have no control over, or reason to expect will be available to them in perpetuity.


As a technology like Java has been phased out, online content content providers, dependent on Java, found a better way.

Hey !!

I did not ask for any support and It was not a feedback! If i had a feedback i would go to https://www.apple.com/feedback/, I just replied to someone's comment and it was removed in a second.


I said something about Samsung s6 Tablet and i believe it was against the terms so its okay :-P

Thanks for your time !!

Are you attempting to access Bluetooth by hard pressing the Settings icon on the screen to access it from the quick menu? If you try, does it crash? If that is the case, that was a bug that was discovered and fixed with the release of iOS 13.4.1. Update your iPad.

I have the same problem. I also have Shooting Plus V3 with the mapping button for controls. Could apple fix it?Thanks

It is the app developer's responsibility to update their app for new iOS versions. Not Apple's responsibility to maintain backwards compatibility.


Contact the developer.

Well I’m trying to be respectful to the iOS community,

but this is getting over my mind , I’m not against the iOS community and it’s developments,

but yes I would surely say that Apple users own a device even by purchasing it legally

and the complete use of their property is mandatory, I even see myself facing problems with the new features and the useful features removed.

i hope this message is starred and the developers understand their users as-well,

thank you

You had me until here.


Complete use is a relative term. I feel I have complete use of my device but I don't game.


Features come and go in life and has always been that way.


TV shows go off the air, products are phased out, buildings are torn down for new buildings.


Purchase of a piece of technology does not entitle its purchaser to a lifetime of "no change"
