On tvOS, SDL_HINT_APPLE_TV_CONTROLLER_UI_EVENTS is supposed to allow passing the menu button to the OS so your app can be "backed out" to the OS. I set this to "1" on my title screen. It works fine in older versions of SDL (I believe I was using 2.0.5 or 2.0.6) but doesn't work anymore in 2.0.9. Pressing menu just does the usual keypresses even if that flag is set to 1.

Apple guidelines recommend Menu goes back to the previous menu then drops to the OS at the top-level menu (https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/tvos/remote-and-controllers/remote/).

I've done some more testing:

2.0.9: Menu button doesn't drop to OS, and swiping the Siri remote causes multiple events, eg swipe once will cause 1-3 direction events

2.0.8: Menu button doesn't drop to OS, but swipe events are OK

2.0.7: Library doesn't link for tvOS (multiple undefined symbols)

2.0.6: Everything works here
