BLE HID gamepad device support in iOS

I have a Nordic nRF52 based BLE device and have programmed it to be a HID gamepad. I have tested this HID gamepad hardware with non-Apple smart devices over BLE and it works well. The hardware will pair and connect to iOS (iPhones) devices but there is no response of the device. It is as if the Apple iOS devices are ignoring all communication from my HID gamepad device. Also if I program my hardware to be HID keyboard or a HID mouse, everything works fine with the same iOS devices.


Can you tell me what is needed in my hardware / firmware to support HID gamepad over BLE?

Hi,


did you found a solution for this problem? I'm in a similar situation and I would like to know if it's possibile to develop an HID gamepad for iOS simply implementing the HID over GATT standard. I can't find your question in the bluetooth forum,


thank you in advance

Did you ever solve this issue? Having this problem as well. My BLE HID gamepad works on android just fine, pairs with iOS, but nothing else.

Thanks!
