From 09086aefaa4e74407d95c7886d3182778118b68f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Brookman Date: Mon, 2 May 2022 15:22:46 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Fix crash when reading background events for MFi controllers on macOS Enabling GCController.shouldMonitorBackgroundEvents to read background events for MFi controllers before receiving the first GCControllerDidConnectNotification is apparently a no-go on macOS (12.3.1 for me), and would crash on attempt. Apple's documentation is... not great, and doesn't point this out. This waits for IOS_AddMFIJoystickDevice() to get called down the chain from GCControllerDidConnectNotification, and enables GCController.shouldMonitorBackgroundEvents if it hadn't been already. On iOS and tvOS, GCController.shouldMonitorBackgroundEvents is ignored, so there's no need to check their versions.
