This prevents conflicts with hidapi linked with applications, as well as allowing applications to make use of HIDAPI on Android and other platforms that might not normally have an implementation available.
It doesn't appear to work anymore, and was disabled by default anyhow, since
the needed APIs are forbidden on the Mac App Store.
A better solution to lock the mouse to the window on macOS would still be
welcome. CGAssociateMouseAndMouseCursorPosition() works fine for relative
mouse mode, this was just a question of SDL_SetWindowGrab(). As it stands
now, a grabbed mouse can briefly break out of the window, causing varying
degrees of chaos.

I tested building commit http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/7adf3fdc19f3 on Mac Catalyst and found some issues:
* MTLFeatureSet_iOS_* enums aren't available under Mac Catalyst.
* OpenGL ES is unavailable under Mac Catalyst.
* Some Metal features are available under Catalyst but not iOS, such as displaySyncEnabled.
* Set Metal as the default renderer on Mac Catalyst
Attaching a patch that will make SDL2 build for Mac Catalyst.

Trying to integrate the latest SDL2 changes into our iOS project of Exult I've stumbled over the fact that when I added the static iOS library the public header files were copied to the archive of our project when you let Xcode build the archive.
This makes the archive invalid for upload to the AppStore Connect.
To fix this you need to delete the public headers from the build phase:
Open the xcode project, select the target "Static Library-ios", got to build phases, and in "headers" delete all the headers in the "public" group. This is safe to do as this actually just copies the public headers for some odd counterintuitive reason.
I think this needs to be done for all the library build targets but likely not for the framework targets.

When you unified the Xcode project file you forgot to add the iOS file (/src/misc/ios/SDL_sysurl.m) to the project file, so the dummy in that folder takes over and the call does not work.
Relevant commits:
http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/c86bbf75f55e (SDL_OpenUrl enabled for macOS/iOS)
http://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/282c3dc1cf65 (and following: unified Xcode project files)
Adding an ios group in the misc group of the project file and then adding /src/misc/ios/SDL_sysurl.m to it fixes the problem.

This patch adds support to the GameController framework on macOS Big Sur and later, adding support for MFi controllers as well as rumble support for PS4 and Xbox One. There is some code to make sure that the IOKit joystick handler doesn't include two controllers at once.
While the GameController framework is present in earlier versions of macOS, there was no public, approved way of checking if a specific IOHIDDevice is a controller that GameController could handle. This was changed in Big Sur.

CLIENTS:
To be able to make use of realtime scheduling clients may
request so with a small D-Bus interface that is accessible on
the interface org.freedesktop.RealtimeKit1 as object
/org/freedesktop/RealtimeKit1 on the service
org.freedesktop.RealtimeKit1:
void MakeThreadRealtime(u64 thread_id, u32 priority);
void MakeThreadHighPriority(u64 thread_id, s32 priority);
The SDL_USE_LIBDBUS define is set inside SDL_debug.h, therefore the
circular dependency made it impossible for this feature to be enabled.
Instead, guard SDL_dbus.h based on the autoconf variable HAVE_DBUS_DBUS_H
Additionally, fix one of the rtkit comments. CAP_SYS_NICE isn't required
to achieve high priority. But there is some scheduler config that rtkit
needs the app to setup.
It causes the HIDAPI devices to always be opened on enumeration, which causes crashes in the Windows drivers when multiple applications are reading and writing at the same time. We can revisit this after 2.0.10 release.

The Dualshock 3's motion sensors don't seem to be reported by the call to EVIOCGBIT but they still send EV_ABS events. Because they're not reported by EVIOCGBIT they're not assigned a proper axis ids and the default of 0 is used, which is the valid id for the left analog sticks left/right axis.

Xcode warns about
"Traditional headermap style is no longer supported; please migrate to using separate headermaps and set 'ALWAYS_SEARCH_USER_PATHS' to NO."
Just doing the latter is enough to silence the warning without ill effects on compiling. This affects the macOS Xcode projects as well as the iOS projects. Definitely not a bug but an annoying warning that could go away.

This cleans up the Xcode project by setting the Xcode groups to the corresponding directories. This also removes the Resources folder in OS X's Products group and adds the CoreBluetooth framework to the iOS tests (this is needed due to the addition of hidapi.

The following patch adds Metal.framework to the "link binary with libraries" section of each test program, with "status" set to "optional", which fixes link errors on all of the test programs. I'm not sure if this is a correct fix - the fact that this was necessary might indicate the static SDL2.a library has a hard dependency on Metal.framework (?) - but it gets the test programs working in Xcode again.
It also adds testyuv_cvt.c to the testoverlay2 target, fixing a link error.

We need to use GLES2 to implement true cross-platform code.
New functions get and set the YUV colorspace conversion mode:
SDL_SetYUVConversionMode()
SDL_GetYUVConversionMode()
SDL_GetYUVConversionModeForResolution()
SDL_ConvertPixels() converts between all supported RGB and YUV formats, with SSE acceleration for converting from planar YUV formats (YV12, NV12, etc) to common RGB/RGBA formats.
Added a new test program, testyuv, to verify correctness and speed of YUV conversion functionality.

Xcode 9 emits a warning to validate project settings. The changes it proposes are
1. [iOS] Update the iOS deployment target to 8.0 since Xcode does
not support anything older.
2. [macOS] Target 'Framework' - Automatically Select Archectures.
3. [iOS & macOS] Turns on a bunch more compile warnings, a *lot* more on iOS.
4. [iOS & macOS] Turn on "Missing Localizability".
I want to confirm if it is ok to accept these changes and submit updated project files.
Since Alex Szpakowski has just removed iOS 7 guard ifdef's, I'm guessing 1 isn't a problem.
2 is probably ok for anyone building themselves. I wonder if it may cause problems for building distribution binaries.
3 shouldn't be a problem either provided any newly emitted warnings are fixed.
4 I am unfamiliar with. The description says "This will turn on the static analyzer to check for "Missing Localizability", because this project is localized for multiple languages." I suppose this may cause new warnings.
I think this was important for SDL 1.2 because some targets needed
special device memory for DMA buffers or locked memory buffers for use in
hardware interrupts or something, but since it just defines to SDL_malloc
and SDL_free now, I took it out for clarity's sake.
The internal function SDL_EGL_LoadLibrary() did not delete and remove a mostly
uninitialized data structure if loading the library first failed. A later try to
use EGL then skipped initialization and assumed it was previously successful
because the data structure now already existed. This led to at least one crash
in the internal function SDL_EGL_ChooseConfig() because a NULL pointer was
dereferenced to make a call to eglBindAPI().
