Amazon app Game Controller requirement notification


I have an app in the Amazon store that is targeted for Fire TV (box and stick). It works great just using the remote. However when starting the app, there is an annoying notification to the user 'Game Controller Not Detected - It appears that appName requires a Game Controller that is not connected to your Fire TV'. Below this is a button 'Launch' and indeed the app launches and performs fine with the remote, but I must get rid of that message.

Combing through the Amazon documentation has been unhelpful. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!


Solution

  • This was an Amazon bug after all. They simply removed the 'Game Controller Not Detected' notification from my app (months after writing to them 3 times, they finally responded)
