Bluetooth Low Energy Camera Shutter
We are developing an accessory for iPhone (https://fjorden.com) that communicates via Bluetooth Low Energy. We do have our own protocol to communicate via BLE with our SDK, but we also want to support the built-in camera app (or any other camera app that doesn't integrate our SDK). We want to achieve the same behavior as basically all other selfie-sticks. The grip acts as a keyboard, and sends a volume control command to trigger the shutter in the native camera app. This work well on iOS 14 & 15. On iOS 16, this doesn't work anymore. The system now treats the grip as a full keyboard, and therefore hides the software keyboard. This was never the case on iOS 15 and below. The built-in camera shutter also stopped working from iOS 16 Beta 1. Other selfie-sticks work via classic Bluetooth, they still work just fine on iOS 16. Has anyone experienced something similar, or has an idea what is going on?
