Keyboard support for iOS 13.4+
Hi! Fantastic job on this project, huge respect. It would be really nice to have connected keyboard show up in the controller list. As far as I know keyboard API became decent in iOS 13.4 (proper press/release events etc) so it would be logical (and hopefully straightforward enough) to have that added with bindable buttons etc. I think some apps like UTM already take advantage of that updated api. Got a Magic Keyboard and really hoped to be able to play some trackmania wii with arrow keys but no dice haha
Keyboard support could make the Steam Controller work too! It connects as a mouse & keyboard. Fine on desktop, but a little frustrating on iOS given the limited support for mouse & keyboard in games currently.
There is code support of steam controller support in iOS apps that might be able to be used here
https://github.com/zydeco/SteamController I remember seeing it a while back, but since I'm not an iOS dev I didn't think much of it, could work and I'd be happy to give it a spin if you needed it tested.
