Xbox One Wireless Controller is not detected as gamepad on OSX

[luizribeiro]

I've been trying to get my Xbox One Wireless controller (030000005e040000fd02000003090000, according to SDL2 Gamepad Tool) to work with Monogame.

Monogame does not seem to find the Gamepad, as GamePad.GetCapabilities(PlayerIndex.One).IsConnected always returns false. I'm currently using the controller through Bluetooth. The controller works fine on Steam.

I did notice that the controller is detected as a joystick by Monogame. However, the identifier of the joystick shows up as 0000045e-0000-0000-fd02-000000000000 on Monogame if read Joystick.GetCapabilities(0).Identifier, which strikes as a bit odd to me.

Any idea what's up?

What version of MonoGame does the bug occur on:

• MonoGame 3.7.0.7

What operating system are you using:

• macOS 10.14.5

What MonoGame platform are you using:

• DesktopGL

I was able to get around this and make the controller work.

Copying my own libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib from SDL 2.0.9 over the libSDL2-2.dylib that is MonoGame's Nuget distribution fixed it for me.

Is there any way to prioritize using a local DLL so I don't have to replace the DLL myself?

SDL on develop is 2.0.10 so this should be fixed.

There is a way, you'd just have to add a action post MG .targets action for .NET Framework, not the most elegant of solutions tho.
