Can confirm. Affects 1.21.72.

Steps to reproduce:

Open Minecraft

Expected result: Game mode would be activated.

Observed result: Game mode is not activated.

This seems to be due to Minecraft not being marked as a game in the Info.plist file in the app. Hopefully this can be easily fixed by doing just that.
