Anyone made a Unity game for iOS that supports a physical keyboard (like the Magic Keyboard)? If so, what magical spell did you cast to make it work

Isn’t the Unity Input System recognizing it as a Keyboard device?

It’s seeing it as an input device but no key commands going through. Unity says keyboard is technically not supported on iOS but I’m sure it’s possible! docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com...

If it’s not supported by the input system then it’s likely that it won’t enable listening for key commands. You might need a native plugin to implement keyboard listening and callback into the scripting layer. I’ve found the native rendering plugin to be a good base to get a basic project going

This is all theoretical mind you I haven’t tried this myself You can drop native files into Unity and it should compile them when you build for IL2CPP or you can use the native rendering plugin as a basis to just standup a native plugin and not use the rendering features just the Xcode project.

It’d probably work if you implement pInvoke hopks for querying GCKeyboard from C# and register a custom input device. developer.apple.com/documentatio... docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com...
