Touch does not work with the new Input System

Question

Hello, I'm using Unity 2019.3.1f1 with the new Input System and I'm having some problems.

So, I have my input actions defined as such: alt text

These actions are mapped to events like this: alt text

The problem is, it doesn't work with any touch screen. The Input System's documentation mentions that touch screens should work with actions as if they were any usual pointer, but I cannot get mine to work at all, even though I can use my mouse just fine.

I've also tried to change the actions' Paths to touchscreen only, with no success.

I should also mention that I can read the touch screen's values just fine (for example, reading the position from Touchscreen.current), but I cannot make interacting with the screen trigger my defined Actions. Am I doing something wrong?

Same issue here. I ran the Touch Samples, but touchscreen doesn't work. Please also see StackOverflow question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62304100/unity-2019-3-11-f1-unity-input-system-1-0-0-unity-remote-5-iphone-8-touch.

Update: unity remote 5 is not synced with new input system. It will be fixed in future.

I thought I was doing something wrong... turns out it just doesn't work with the remote app as you said. Thanks, I wouldn't figure this out without you. This should be a more upvoted issue.

I came across this sample today ... It can be imported and downloaded with the package manager under the Input System 1.0.0 asset Touch Samples. According to the Github this sample has existed prior to Oct 10 2019. I can't believe no one has posted about this as I've been searching the internet for anything like this for a month now.

Yeah Unity Remote doesn't work with Unity's New Input System, but you can use Legacy Input System by enabling both in Edit -> Project Settings -> Player -> Active Input Handling to "Both".

For development, you can use "both" input systems, for production you can switch to "New Input System" because Unity's Remote only doesn't support New Input System, but Your Mobile Build will work with New Input System

In Simple words:

Use "Both" Input for Remote Play (For Development)

Use "New Input System" for Mobile Build App (For Production)

I'm just using this technique. It just works fine!

Same issue

Input.touch has the data and if I use the old eventsystem ui input module at least hi elements work but the touch position, Delta etc do not. Pointer on mouse works.

Oh ok. I just made a post about how my touch controls using the new input system work in the actual build on my android device, but not through remote 5.

Is this possibly why?
