No such AH HA! moment from me. I cannot find any new storyboard, view controller or app delegate. I have under my Target's supported destinations = iPad iOS and tvOS, with no apparent new items as already stated. Need some help here.

Same problem with Xcode = 14.2 + Simulator = 14.2 There are several other errors out there that appear only with the Simulator, but not with the real App. Is this Snapshot Error among them?

SOLVED: forgot to call addChild via SKScene.addChild(SKSpritenode) A very simple solution to a difficult problem.

Found a different approach that works

Good idea .. maybe a Splash Screen. In the meantime .. look at my above comment. I just won’t tolerate this Assault on my integrity. It will not stand. BTW some Apps on App Store do not send such a message or Splash Screen. In its place is the same top tier stipulation that a Game Controller is required and highlighted in the description of the App on the App Store

BTW my App is also designed for ATV. Please tell me how a gamer physically touches the TV screen? Please name one Game designed for ATV that does not require a Controller?

I expect folk to be able to read the Description Text posted on the App Store. (1) Gamers typically hate written instructions so they rightfully assume a Computer Game requires a Controller. 95%. (2) Gamers typically just start pressing all Buttons and Joysticks to see what works. 95%. BOTTOM LINE Won’t Happen. One last thing - have contacted folk in headshed in Cupertino about being called a liar. SO, I am very reluctant to go to a mountain of effort to satisfy 5% of the world.

Yes, that’s the one. When I purposely turn off my Nimbus+ by pressing the Home Button, the iMac Bluetooth Settings show “Dis-connected”. Yet when I subsequently Run my App on Simulator it prints “Connected - Extended #0”

SO, I must be doing something wrong because the NSNotification code for disconnect is never seen. I have the Gamepad code all in the SKScene Swift Class part = didMove function. I don’t like it there because it belongs in the AppDelegate Class or the GameViewController Class. But since I cycle between Scenes, there is one Scene out of 3 that uses the Gamepad = GameScene - like the A, B etc buttons and the joysticks. SO .. I put the Connect/Disconnect stuff in the SKScene class

Someone suggested I set up a Timer and look for controllers() and dump your NSNotification Code but one of your Framework Engineers said that was costly on time versus your Code

BTW if I sat itsScene = this in the didMove function where itsScene is a AppDelegate Global .. and then say itsScene.ObserveForGameControllers() the Console reports that itsScene = nil

nil error in GameViewController Class

Considering the other problems I am personally aware of wrt the Simulator, I seriously question its reliability across the board. like .. why have it?

And yes I have a real Apple TV

Justin, I just sent off a TSI request. I provided a link to this back-and-forth Chat and said after they review this Chat in detail I will provide my complete .xcodeproj if they want. To be totally candid, my prayer is that whatever engineer I hook up with matches your patience with me. I can't stand egocentric and haughty folk and I assure you, Justin, you are totally opposite that.
