I recently bought a 2020 Mac Mini with an M1 processor, an upgrade from my 2014 Macbook Air. On my old machine, I was able to pair my Nintendo Switch Pro controller via bluetooth without any issues. I can still pair my controller to my new Mac Mini, and I can even play games on itch io with it. So I know my computer is receiving and interpreting the controller inputs correctly. But I cannot for the life of me get my Gamemaker executable in the Yoyo Runner to recognize my controller's input. I've changed nothing in the code from when it was working on my Macbook Air, and the Yoyo Runner is receiving input from the keyboard. It's just my controller that's not being recognized. I've tried pairing it both through the native bluetooth connection and my 8Bitdo USB. Neither work. I've ensured Gamemaker and Yoyo Runner have access to receive inputs from bluetooth in my security preferences too. Nada. Any ideas what could be causing this? Any resources out there to help me pair a controller with my Mac Mini M1 for use in testing my game in Yoyo Runner?
UPDATE: I decided to purchase the SN30 Pro+ by 8Bitdo and it pairs and plays perfectly on my machine. I highly recommend this controller for anyone developing on a new Mac.
