What triggers Game Mode?

  1. What are the specific characteristics that trigger Game Mode in an iOS game? I have several casual SpriteKit games in the App Store but only one of them triggers Game Mode.

  2. What does GCSupportsGameMode do when set to true? Will it trigger Game Mode or will the OS still decide by itself?

GCSupportsGameMode can be set to false to intentionally disable game mode.
