Reply to Moving a SKSpriteNode image in response to a change in its position
The solution to making the SKSpriteNodes, myPaddle + myBall, move was to delete them from my GameScene.sks file so this file would not load them.  But rather, use GameViewController's addGamePiecesToScene() to load them via: set their .zPosition, .size + .position SKScene.addChild(SKSpriteNode!) Once the above code changes were inserted, the two Game Pieces started moving in response to my game controller.

Reply to GameScene’s didBegin is not called?
I was wrong. didBegin is called, but only for paddleHitBall. ... but not for either paddleHitWall or ballHitWall. It is almost certain to me that my error rests within my addGamePiecesToScene. I'm thinking it has to do with the specs for myRoom within the latter. But far from certain?

One addition = said Reviewer basically called me a LIAR when I said my App does not respond to touching the iPad screen. At which point he/she demanded I send them a video of my App working on a real device BECAUSE the Xcode Simulator is no good. I will NOT be called a LIAR. Again, this is Assault in Spades. This Reviewer merits firing without benefits. I am 82 years old. Physically a wreck, but mentally very sharp. This must not stand!

Reply to 100% Inappropriate Behavior of a App Reviewer
Let’s use some irrefutable LOGIC here. I could easily send them a video. I definitely will NOT. But I could. Said video would “show” using a Controller moving a game piece around a screen. However with today’s Hollywood mentality it could all be fake. Got a better idea … the Tester himself using their own Controller with MY App Damn it works!! The truth is the Tester is a lowly employee who is too lazy to get up and get a Controller. The Tester has already proven it won’t work by poking the screen. I have posted very poignant well crafted words via Promotion and Description that testify my App needs a Controller. The above logic is irrefutable. You don’t agree, but that’s your problem.

Reply to FBSSceneSnapshotErrorDomain Code=4
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?

Reply to Moving a SKSpriteNode image in response to a change in its position
Meaningful EDIT of my above Post: Within AppDelegate I have; var myBall: SKSpriteNode? Within my `GameViewController, I have: myBall = SKSpriteNode(texture: SKTexture(imageNamed: ballImg))

Meaningful EDIT of the above Post: Within my AppDelegate I have: var myBall: SKSpriteNode? Within my GameViewController I have: myBall = SKSpriteNode(texture: SKTexture(imageNamed: "dinossaur.png")) Thanks for your patience.

Reply to Moving a SKSpriteNode image in response to a change in its position
A significant addition = I converted the specified Scene coordinates to Screen coordinates and set myBall.position = the new Screen coordinates. Plus I deleted the SKAction pair of statements. But, still no visible movement of the SKSpriteNode = myBall. As stated above, I am really at a loss on the solution. And, again, Thanks in Advance!

I totally disagree with you that it’s a good sign. I solemnly assure you my Father agrees with me. Furthermore, just because you have never seen someone use a Controller with a iPad clearly does not say that anyone can’t. There are over 370,000,000 folk in this country and you are only ONE.

I was poking holes in your logic, not you. To quote you earlier, you shouldn’t take it personal Bye
