    Turns out trackpads 2 finger drag does work but is flipped so to scroll horizontally you actually scroll vertically and to scroll vertically you have to scroll horizontally, unsure if I should make this a separate report

    Is it flipped if you rotate it upside down?

    Actually sorry please just ignore the trackpad not working as it only seems to happen in some apps but most others seem to work fine

    Also the scrolling does work normally if the app is in either portrait mode but is flipped in either of the horizontal orientations

    Unfortunately, keyboard input issue is currently unfixable. We also tried Apple’s own Swift Playgrounds which used the same set of private API but it had the same issue most of the time.
    Since then @hugeBlack has submitted feedback to Apple regarding Swift Playground, so we need to wait until Apple fixes it.
    Worst case is it could be a stock bug in SpringBoard which would require updating iOS to fix it.
