Kivy does not make use of SDL2 hidapi, and building it into our artifacts requires to link against the
CoreBluetooth
framework.More importantly, Apple notices it just after the submission to the App Store, and requests the developer to explain the user why the access to this feature / data is needed via
NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription
andNSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription
keys.SDL refers to this issue here, and suggests to disable the HIDAPI via
SDL_HIDAPI_DISABLED
