[MCPE-181558] iPad Pro (M4) Magic Keyboard Trackpad not working

I just got my new iPad Pro 13-inch (M4) and have the new Magic Keyboard with it as well. I went to play Minecraft when I got home and the keyboard functions work, to move your characters, but using the trackpad to look around does not. It works on my old iPad, but not the new one. Latest iPadOS 17.5 and Minecraft 1.20.81

Same issue here. The game recognizes that you are using a keyboard and trackpad but does not accept the trackpad for camera movement. Clicking the trackpad does let you hit things though. Very weird behavior.

Strange that this bug is still not patched. Might be a driver issue as its still a new touchpad

Anyone know how long Mojang usually take to fix these bugs?

This issue was reported to Apple and here is their response, “Potential fix identified - For a future OS update.” This issue should stay open until that update has been released.

Still affects 1.21

Seems like this only affects the new Magic Keyboard. Unable to reproduce with old Magic Keyboard on iPad Air. Very strange bug ngl.

I have the same issue with the new Magic Keyboard on IPadOS 18 Developer Beta 2. So I doubt it is an Apple issue.

Affected 1.21.1 and now 1.21.2

I have read comments that it might be fixed in iPadOS 18 Beta 3

Reproduced the seemingly-fixed behavior in iPadOS 18 Beta 3 as well. 🎉

Just updated to 1.21.20 and the issue has been fixed. For now…

It seems like this works for the most part initially, but opening certain menus and such appear to break the trackpad support (but not keyboard support)

I am having the same issue with the iPad Air (M3) and the new Magic Keyboard released along side it. Track pad seems to desync when opening certain menus. Hoping to see a fix for this soon.
