I have the new Xbox one controller (with Bluetooth), with my Samsung phone it work perfectly, but when I want to use it with my iPad, it don't work, when I connect it to my iPad, the light stop flash, and stay on. On my iPad setting it connect. But when
I want to use it in an app ( Asphalt8) he don't recognise my controller.

I was under the impression Xbox One controllers are only compatible with Windows based applications...

You are sure ? Because it work with android ...

I ran down some info after talking with some people and unfortunately it seems like you may be out of luck. Apple has banned the use of third party emulators in their games so you may not be able to use it. Android however, seems to allow this sort of
thing to function properly. Check out this link below:

I hope it helps bring some clarity... Good luck!

I just ran into the same problem. However, it perfectly works on my iPad. I don't mind why it doesn't work on Surface, if it works on my iPad I want it to work on my surface as well. As I'm travelling frequently, this is a big issue for me.... very bad.

Hi

I haven’t got another Xbox controller but I’ve tried on PlayStation controller and my IPad and the headphones work fine. They just won’t work with Xbox controller.

The controller I brought 3 days ago.

Thanks for your reply

I’ve had the same issue on both my xbox series s controllers (purchased a year apart) for about a month now but I think I fixed it. Unpair your xbox controller from your xbox by holding the little sync button on the controller for about 15 seconds or until the controller vibrates. Now the controller is not synced to anything. I did a step here where I synced the controller to my ipad and tested some games. Controller worked fine. Humorously, I even remote played the xbox through the xbox app on the ipad. Worked fine, no disconnects. Next I made the ipad forget the controller. Then I simply turned on the controller and synced it back to the xbox. No disconnects yet. Hope this fix sticks/helps others.

I don't have a mobile network, only my home wifi network. The app works just fine on my laptop when signed in. All features open when signed in. The app works fine on my ipad in "guest" mode. I played a game in guest mode, then signed in, and the app failed to open the next game. Obviously, it has something to do with signing in on my ipad, since the app works fine in guest mode. I have updated my ipad and the app. If I could get out of the black screen in the app without having to shut down my ipad, I would be able to trouble shoot better. Having to shut the ipad down each time to reset the app is a real bother. What is even more perplexing is that the app worked fine on 4/25. Having changed nothing on my ipad, on 4/26 it wouldn't work.
