I have my Xbox Controller plugged into my Macbook, but my controller won't stay on (no batteries are needed for this controller, and the plug I am using works). Also in system settings when I scroll to Xbox Controllers it says no devices found. How do I fix this?

I tried twice to install homebrew and I got a error message twice:

I'm trying to establish a connection between two devices using mobile network. The config in both devices are ok allowing use mobile data for the app.
I'm able to connect and start the game with WIFI networ
`// Initiate matchmaking
- (void)initiateMatchmakingWithViewController:(UIViewController*)rustViewController {
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
if (![GKLocalPlayer localPlayer].isAuthenticated) {

return;
}
NSLog(@"Preparing MatchMaker");
GKMatchRequest *request = [[GKMatchRequest alloc] init];
request.minPlayers = 2;
request.maxPlayers = 2;
GKMatchmakerViewController *mmvc = [[GKMatchmakerViewController alloc] initWithMatchRequest:request];
mmvc.matchmakerDelegate = self;
// Use the passed view controller to present the matchmaking UI
[rustViewController presentViewController:mmvc animated:YES completion:nil];
NSLog(@"MatchMaker running....");
// Store the rustViewController for later, to revert back to it
originalViewController = rustViewController;
});
}
// GKMatchmakerViewControllerDelegate methods

[originalViewController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
NSLog(@"Matchmaking was cancelled.");
}
- (void)matchmakerViewController:(GKMatchmakerViewController *)viewController didFailWithError:(NSError *)error {
[originalViewController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
NSLog(@"Matchmaking failed with error: %@", error.localizedDescription);
}
- (void)matchmakerViewController:(GKMatchmakerViewController *)viewController didFindMatch:(GKMatch *)match {
[originalViewController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
self.currentMatch = match;
match.delegate = self;
NSLog(@"Match found.");
// Fetch details for each player in the match
NSMutableArray<NSString *> *playerIDs = [NSMutableArray array];
for (GKPlayer *player in match.players) {
[playerIDs addObject:player.playerID];
}
[GKPlayer loadPlayersForIdentifiers:playerIDs withCompletionHandler:^(NSArray<GKPlayer *> *players, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
NSLog(@"Error retrieving player details: %@", error.localizedDescription);
return;
}
for (GKPlayer *player in players) {
if (![player.playerID isEqualToString:GKLocalPlayer.localPlayer.playerID]) {
[self loadAndStoreAvatarForRemotePlayer:player];
}
}
}];
}`
I can see how both clients are in state "connecting" but the log "Match found." it's never set.
I also can see this log "[Match] syncPlayers failed to loadPlayersForLegacyIdentifiers"
We are using apple unity plugin (gamekit) to authorized player using game center account. To get player the info we run a task from the plugin,
var fetchItemsResponse = await GKLocalPlayer.Local.FetchItems();
But when this code run, there is an error on the xcode application on mac. The error is the following,
Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=257, address=0x2)
I'm working in a game where I integrate matchmaker and it's working fine when I try with two devices under same wifi network, but in the moment I use 5g mobile network and I do the matchmaker, I can still see each other but the game did not start and I see error sending data to the remote player.
The game is not yet published and I'm using TestFlight for the clients.
I'm trying to implement multiplayer invitation from game center for macos, ios, tvos following this https://developer.apple.com/documentation/gamekit/finding_multiple_players_for_a_game?language=objc
Implementation works for tvos and ios, I can invite my friends, Start Game and continue sending data. But macos still doesn't work at all. I tried using build that works on iOS to invite macos player, but my mac cannot even receive the invitation notification from game center (game is installed already on mac).
While from mac, my invitation process is stuck here until it's failed
Is there any specific setting on macos to enable game center invitation?
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to implement matchmaking in visionOS using GameKit and GameCenter.
I'm following the example project that been shared but I get an error.
Error: The requested operation could not be completed because you are not signed in to iCloud..
I'm getting this error as a result of matchmaking. I'm already logged in to iCloud in Vision Pro Simulator. I've tried to switch off-on every related settings but didn't work.
I'm using latest Xcode Dev Beta and visionOS Beta v6.
Would you mind share me any workaround?
Regards,
Melih
In our multiplayer game prototype, we experience a ping of 300 ms (at best) when using Game Center and GKMatch to send data between players, over the GKMatch.SendDataMode.unreliable channel. This latency is not suitable for a real-time game.
When we tested alternative services like Unity's Relay under identical conditions (location, devices, and Wi-Fi), we achieved a ping of 120 ms.
Is a ping value of 300 ms typical when using Game Center?
I can think of possible reasons in case it's not typical, but I can't be sure:
Is there a different behavior (servers relaying peer-to-peer connections) when the game is not yet released on the store?
We're in Europe, maybe this is normal in Europe and better in US?
I'm working in a game that it was working perfectly with Game Center (remote game with 1 remote player), but since last Sunday I'm having errors when I try to start a remote game.
I have 2 errors, one says FAILED when I invite a friend to play. In this case, the other device never gets the notification.
The other error sent the notification, but when I tap on it (on the other device), it fails saying that it couldn't communicate with the server). The main device it says "INVITED" but it doesn't say anything else.
I haven't found anyone else having the same issue, so I wonder if it's my fault, although I haven't change that part of the code since the last time I tested it.
Is it someone else here having similar problems? or knows what should I review?
thank you all, and have a great year!
I am using GCSystemGestureStateDisabled to suppress home button being capture by gesture recognizer so the system menu is not triggered while my app is using the gamepad.
It was working well on macOS 14.1 but stop working after I migrated to 14.2.
boundToSystemGesture is still showing "Yes" after button.preferredSystemGestureState = GCSystemGestureStateDisabled is assigned.
Is it possible some change was introduced on 14.2 causing the issue?
How to get current player score and position? Thanks!
I'm trying to display the native GameCenter interface from Unity (I've already tried Bounded and Unbouded Volume Mode, that is, with and without Full Immersive Mode) but I can't display this interface.
If I use Unity's SocialAPI (https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Social.ShowLeaderboardUI.html), nothing is displayed, and I get the following message in XCode (simulator):

If I try to do it using Apple's plugin for GameCenter (GameKitWrapper) adapted to VisionOS, the application crashes with the following error:

The code that produces this crash is the following (trying to display the GameCenter UI):
let viewController = UIApplication.shared.windows.first!.rootViewController;
viewController?.present(target, animated: true);
@_cdecl("GKGameCenterViewController_Present")
public func GKGameCenterViewController_Present
(
pointer: UnsafeMutableRawPointer,

{
let target = Unmanaged<GKGameCenterViewController>.fromOpaque(pointer).takeUnretainedValue();
_currentPresentingGameCenterDelegate = GameKitUIDelegateHandler(taskId: taskId, onSuccess: onSuccess);
target.gameCenterDelegate = _currentPresentingGameCenterDelegate;
#if os(iOS) || os(tvOS) || os(visionOS)
let viewController = UIApplication.shared.windows.first!.rootViewController;
viewController?.present(target, animated: true);
#endif
}
Is there a way to present the GameCenter UI overlaid on the Unity app?
Hello,
I'm working on a game application and I've been wondering about how I can separate the GameKit Leaderboards I'm using for testing purpose and the ones that would be "live" (i.e: only for the users)
I've been point out that I can attach leaderboards to an app version but it makes me wondering about compatibility.
I'm working on the application in version 1.1.
My users are using the application in version 1.0 (with their leaderboards).
Then I'm releasing a version 1.2.
It would means I need to attach all the leaderboards from version 1.0 to version 1.2 and to me it's very tedious.
What would be the best practice with using leaderboards on multiple environments?
Thanks
I tried to update my current game controller code to the new iOS 17.0 GCControllerLiveInput. But the Touchpads of the PS4 and PS5 controllers are not listed as elements of the GCControllerLiveInput.
Were they moved somewhere else? They are not listed as a GCMouse, and I didn't find anything about this in the documentation or header files either...
