To enable game mode for non-game apps, you would need to follow a similar approach to how it's done for games. Specifically, you can add the GCSupportsGameMode
key and set it to true
in your iOS app's Info.plist. This will ensure that iOS reduces background activity and Bluetooth latency, improving input and headphone responsiveness when your app is in use.
For more detailed steps and examples, you can refer to the session Port advanced games to Apple platforms which discusses enabling game mode and other enhancements for games on iOS.
