    My app uses two of the buttons on the Siri Remote, which are mapped to resemble joystick buttons, in the legacy input system. This broke during a recent 2020 update. Suddenly the app no longer senses the buttons on the remote, although I can see the light on the Apple TV box blinking. The Unity documentation still says the same thing it always did about mapping to joystick button codes. Anyone know what's going on?

    Are mFI controllers working? Unity keeps breaking tvOS controller support, there was a bug where Input.GetButtonDown wasn't working properly.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Unity just broke support for tvOS again, they have done it multiple times in the last couple of years, even though we're seeing no benefit from what they're tinkering.

    Everything else works normally. I've checked this problem on two Apple TV units, and the only thing misbehaving is the Unity runtime. I guess it's a case of them breaking it again. Bug report filed.
