[MCPE-139604] Minecraft iOS for iPad/ iPad Pro. The keyboard/ magic keyboard does not work

The keyboard and mouse pops up as an option, but is not recognized by the magic keyboard. This is not a duplicate issue due to the other resolved ticket "working as intended" and then not working as intended so it was clearly fixed and I'm having a different problem. The same dude, ocelot is also the one resolving all the bug tickets by just labeling them as duplicates and resolving them. When clearly the original ticket wasn't resolved either, sorry, I meant, it was resolved and I'm having a different issue...

If you think you have a different issue, then please clearly explain exactly how it is a different issue, along with steps to reproduce and observed and expected results. The video should be supplemental to the explanation.

This issue is similar to other tickets, but not the same. Those tickets have been resolved and are concluded to not need further investigation because its working as intended. Unlike my issue, where a 1st party keyboard on a platform you’re supporting does not work. When I press w on my keyboard, my little character doesn’t move forward, the same holds true for any other keys (clarification: none of the keys do their intended purpose, indicated in pause>settings>mouse&keyboard). The settings are set up correctly and have I have checked over them multiple times, yet it doesn’t work. I have also checked the system settings, re-downloaded the application and tested the keyboard extensively to see if it works (it does). The video shows the keyboard being recognized and sending a message, yet when leaving the chat, the keyboard stops working and the software stops recognizing it. To replicate my results, use an iPad Air(2020) or iPad Pro(2018+) and the 1st party keyboard by apple(Magic Keyboard 2020). Open the folio magic keyboard, stick the iPad on, and use the keyboard, then proceed to not be able to use the keyboard for anything other than chat messaging on Minecraft.

General gameplay via the keyboard is not currently supported for iOS devices. It doesn't matter whether the keyboard itself is from Apple or a 3rd party.

I am also having this issue. Hopefully it can be fixed soon. I’ve contacted the devs for clarification as under the current devices supported by Bedrock Editiion it is not WAI as if it was then the Microsoft Surface Pro Tablet line would be unsupported as they are a tablet just as the iPad is. I have yet tk receive full clarification but when I get it I will either force them to reopen the iPad ticket or report that the Surface Pro Tablet line has a glitch where their keyboards work when they shouldent. Again I’m waiting for dev clarification.

But a 3rd party keyboard works fine when i plug it in to the iPad. So youre statement is false.

@Steven Moreno Actually no. My statement isn’t false at all. Does the Surface Pro Keyboard plug in? No it dosen’t. It uses the same type of portless and bluetoothless tech that the iPad uses. If you were forced to plug a keyboard into the Surface Pro then my statement would be invalid, but since one is supported and the other isn’t, that’s what makes it paradoxical. You make a good point though. The fact that you must plug a keyboard into the iPad to use a keyboard means that it’s more likely that the Surface Pro keyboard working is actually a bug. Which would fall in like with what Mojang has stated about the iPad. Thanks for the evidence to support my future bug report.
