Bought a brand new PS4 controller to use on IPad Pro. Fortnite only shows controller as xbox style button layout with zero support for L3 R3 trigger clicking due to MFI controllers not having that feature. Emailed support and here is the response.

Hello there,

Thank you for contacting Epic Games Player Support!

I know how you really wanted to use your newly bought Dual Shock 4 to play on your IPAD. However, Dual Shock 4 is not guaranteed to work on IOS. However, here is the list of support controllers that will work on you Device.

Mobile Controller support IOS: MFi controllers, such as Steelseries Nimbus and Gamevice.

You may connect or use your Dual Shock 4 controller on your IPAD, however, you cannot make it to work 100%.

Thank you for understanding

RIP Fortnite. Cant even get PS4/xbox support on iOS Because they don’t know it exists.

If that is a message from our player support, they never said it doesnt exist. It does work, but as mentioned they said its not guaranteed to work. This is because L3 and R3 are not supported and require a movement to xcode 10/11. I have no timeline on when that move will happen.
