Hi all! I've got a "camera shutter" Bluetooth remote that I'd love to use with GoButton.

However, my iPad interprets the shutter click as Volume Up.  Is there any way I can map that for GoButton use?

I never actually use the physical volume buttons on the iPad, so I'd even be fine with a workaround that deactivates them.

Many thanks!

Volume up/down commands are unfortunately intercepted by the device and iOS does not forward those commands to third-party apps.

To work with Go Button, the remote needs to send keystrokes, MIDI commands, or media transport commands ("Toggle Play/Pause", "Stop", "Start", etc).

Appreciate the prompt reply, Brent.  Had a feeling that was the case, but I appreciate you confirming it.  Many thanks!
