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?

Hahaha so u still don’t understand apple yet ..


EVERY iOS UPDATE FROM apple is a TRAP after a long experience with them I guess now you all Know what I mean, don’t update unless u search about any traps don’t hear what apple says about the update It’s all lies, THEY NEVER MENTIONS REMOVING TOUCH SCREEN INTERFACE BLUETOOTH so go see the others what says and second thing I think it’s time to buy some new good gaming phones in the future like RED magic 5g or black shark it’s better than the war that apple makin against their customers and believe me we pay them a lot of money they don’t deserve, so we can buy the good other gaming phones with same prices with NO WARS

I have been using several controllers in games via bluetooth since long time. Recently gave my phone to brothers and bought xs too but didn’t know about this new updates. So basicially your 3rd party controllers won’t work cause of this carplay stabilisation. I bought phones mainly for gaming and now they have no use for it. Ios 13.5 not supporting any bluetooth touch screen controller. The only solution will be updating my phones for android ones :). Thank you apple for convincing me to use android devices. One plus 8 ? Black shark? Asus rog phone? Let’s see bests out ther and leave apple. I was getting upset anyway with this close enviroment for couple of years. You can’t even use headphones and charge at the same time without earbuds...


such a pain because i was considering iphone 12... but i don’t wanna play games with my fingers on the screen... it is not comfortable.

I don’t think it’s app developer’s problem. All devices that use screen touch stimulation via bluetooth and app aren’t working since update 13.4 . They are working on androids. Since there are many kids and people buying phones for gaming now , they will just update to android now or later instead to iphone 12. I think it is not small group of people :D.

So do I I have a flydigi gamepad controller for my phone and keyboard and mouse for my iPad Pro And since 13.4 I can no longer use them for my games please Apple you have a big line of customers that use third-party controllers and mouse and keyboard mapping tools it makes playing first person shooter so much more enjoyable and fun and from my understanding the only people that can use devices like that are android users like Samsung and so on I Really like your devices but Samsung phones are getting a lot more powerful and I would hate to go back to them because I’ve been with Apple for such a long time now but I feel you will lose a lot of customers over this

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 sucks, I wish they can take My iPad pro and give me a refund because I was using it to play games and now it's a garbage without 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..

Very bad moves was done by Apple. I throw my iPhone 11Pro max away. I am searching for a new phone now. I have been Apple guy since iPhone 3s. No it’s time to shift to Asus rog 3 pro which is way better than iPhone which will be released in July 27. And there are much better phones now like black shark 3 or red magic 3. You know I have never knew about those phone till you guys stopped this option for us.
