Help with iPhone Mirroring App and Assistive Mouse Input Issues

Hi everyone,


I'm hoping someone here can help me troubleshoot an issue I'm having with the iPhone Mirroring app on my Mac. As part of my daily workflow, I rely heavily on this feature because it allows me to access my iPhone without needing to switch Bluetooth channels for my cephalic mouse setup (using a mouth pad and Glassouse Pro assistive devices). This has been a huge time-saver overall.


However, I'm running into some input recognition problems when interacting with the mirrored iPhone interface:


- On the home screen, I can successfully swipe left and right to navigate between pages.

- But when I try to click on an app icon to open it, the app interprets it as a right-click instead of a standard left-click/tap, so the app doesn't launch.

- Additionally, if I manage to get into an app, drag gestures (like scrolling or moving elements) aren't recognized at all.


I've double-checked my mouse settings, but everything seems configured correctly for standard input. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with assistive devices and iPhone Mirroring? Any suggestions on fixes, like adjusting accessibility options, updating software, or alternative workarounds would be greatly appreciated!


Thanks in advance for your help!
