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 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?

when you people do not know about something then batter do not reply.

There was a service bluetooth touch screen which apple stopped and all controllers and keyboard mouse devices devices which were using this service not working anymore. Apple is responsible for this not the app developers.

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

Apple is responsible for this

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.

Thanks for your feedback and too bad it didnt work out. So the best controller would be one which comes with an app for Bluetooth mapping like Shootingplus or M+ or else there are less possibilities. This morning I saw there was an update for Shootingplus V3 but unfortunately they still didnt make it compatible with iOS 13.4 +


im glad I can use my MUJA gamepad for now but I’m wondering if shootingplus is ever going to make it compatible....

Yes it makes no sense at all. Ever since iOS13.4 popped out you get the popup notice that its not compatible with iOS13.4 but Shootingplus also rolled out 3 updates since iOS13.4


like, what the f would you update 3 times when its not even compatible at all? I assume as long as the notice pops up when you open the app it wont work..

maybe if we all spam their CS with e-mails they will try harder to fix it?

paid for this you have no right to control my device.. I paid for the device and software so please be smart somewhere else

You do not own the software. You have agreed to a license to use the software on a device you may own.


No end user in the history of software has ever owned the software. Your sense of entitlement is incorrect here.


If you want stability on features you like, either research the upgrade or do not upgrade.
