Game Center When Opponent Declines Game

Turn-based games: 2 players When an opponent declines a game in the Game Center MatchMaker VC, that player sees that they quit, but no message is sent to the listener about that fact. For the person who started the match, their MMVC shows it's their turn again. Why doesn't Game Center end the match?

Looking for some clarification

Was wondering if anyone from Apple could provide some clarification, The gaming studio "Epic Games" Is wondering if they could distribute the award winning game "Fortnite" back on MacOS without any retaliations. I know Fortnite being back on MacOS would benefit thousands of MacOS Devs. Hoping to get a clarification so Epic could start on bringing Fortnite back.

HidHide on MacOS

I was wondering if there's a method on MacOS to have my application hide a hid device such as a game controller and instead have the receiving game/application see my app's virtual controller? Is this possible via DriverKit or some other form of kernel level coding? On Windows we have a tool known as HidHide that hids a game controller from all other applications. Is it possible to implement such behavior into an app or is that system level?

Custom GCController subclass for new hardware?

Hi all, Wondering how I would go about creating a plugin/class to support a new (physical/hardware) device with the game controller framework? Between GCVirtualController on iOS and the "KeyboardAndMouseSupport.bundle" I see inside GameController.framework on my Mac, it looks like the framework must be designed to support this but I can't find any documentation. Thanks!

Virtual Controllers on Mac via the Game Controller Framework

Hi fellow devs, I have a quick question is it possible to have virtual controllers on Mac. For instance can my app exclusively manage the controller and output it into the Game Controller framework? And create a virtual controller to allow for features such as controller emulation, haptic control, and others.
