GCVirtualController does not display a “Menu” button, even it is initialized with a configuration that includes the element name GCInputButtonMenu. This is a problem for games that use all MFi buttons and also use the controller’s Menu button to pause the game, such as my own app.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Initialize GCVirtualControllerConfiguration
2) Add “GCInputButtonMenu” to the GCVirtualControllerConfiguration’s elements.
3) Initialize GCVirtualController with the configuration
4) Call GCVirtualController.connect()

Expected Results:
A virtual controller appears with a Menu button.

Actual Results:
The virtual controller does not display a Menu button.

Hacky Workaround:
Because GCVirtualController adds a view which blocks user input to the rest of the app, it’s impossible to work around this without manually adding a custom button as a subview of the private GCControllerView. Allowing user input to pass through the controller view would make this workaround somewhat better.
