When using GCKeyboard in a UIKit based macOS Catalyst app, on each keypress there is a resulting beep sound heard. Is there a way to disable this beep sound?

Okay, it was pretty simple. The press handlers for both begin and end should be overridden and handle the input

Code Block  swiftoverride func pressesBegan(_ presses: Set<UIPress>, with event: UIPressesEvent?) {
/*
		Do nothing, or handle specifically the keys 
		that should be processed by your app.
		super.pressesBegan will forward the key press and result
		in the 'beep' sound
*/
}
override func pressesEnded(_ presses: Set<UIPress>, with event: UIPressesEvent?) {
/*
		Do nothing, or handle specifically the keys 
		that should be processed by your app.
		super.pressesEnded will forward the key press and result
		in the 'beep' sound
*/
}

This solves the issue of 'beeps' coming from key presses that I am not currently handling while polling using GCKeyboard
