Sirimote

  • If volume control doesn’t work automatically, you can manually program your Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote: On your Apple TV 4K or Apple TV HD, go to Settings Remotes and Devices Volume Control.
  • SiriMote lets you control any applications on Mac that play media, such as iTunes, Spotify, QuickTime, Keynote, Photos (Slideshows), and many more. Unfortunately, it only works with the buttons on the remote ­ the touchpad itself won’t control your Mac.

I just bought standalone Siri Remote (only remote without apple TV) to add new feature for my iphone game. It works all great (both motion and microgamepad profile) when I pair Siri Remote with my Macbook and test GameController API inside sample tvOS Project (using Xcode tvOS simulator).

To configure your Siri Remote with your Mac, do the following: Step 2: Unplug your Apple TV (Siri Remote will not pair unless this is done) Step 4: Hold the Menu + Volume Up button for 5 seconds until you see a new unnamed Bluetooth device. Step 5: Click pair on the unknown Bluetooth device and your Siri Remote will be paired. Warachot Sirimote is on Facebook. Join Facebook to connect with Warachot Sirimote and others you may know.

I also tested with free mac app (SiriMote) - and everything works great too.



However once I try to test the same code inside MacOS or iOS app, Siri controller is never detected (I double checked to be sure Siri Remote is Paired and Connected via Settings -> Bluetooth).

I added the below fields to plist (but tried with different combinations as well) and even explicitly added GameController.framework to 'Linked Frameworks and Libraries':
