This prevents a number of issues where devices are enumerated but not actually able to be opened, like https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/5781.
We currently leave the devices open, allowing us to more easily do controller feature detection, protocol negotiation, detect dropped Bluetooth connections, etc. with the expectation that the application is likely to open the controllers shortly.
Since accessing Bluetooth prompts the user for permission on both Android and iOS, and we only need it for Steam Controller support, we'll leave it off by default. You can enable it by setting the hint SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_STEAM to "1" before calling SDL_Init()
Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/4952
This prevents conflicts with hidapi linked with applications, as well as allowing applications to make use of HIDAPI on Android and other platforms that might not normally have an implementation available.
This fixes bad report parsing for various newer Xbox controllers, and this driver is now preferred over XInput, since it handles more than 4 controllers.
Added support for the PS4 controller gyro and accelerometer on iOS and HIDAPI drivers
Also fixed an issue with the accelerometer on iOS having inverted axes
Xbox Elite controllers use AUX1-AUX4 to represent the paddle buttons when using the HIDAPI driver
PS4 and PS5 controllers use AUX1 to represent the touchpad button
Nintendo Switch Pro controllers use AUX1 to represent the capture button
