UWP CreateOutputReport failed to create report ID

Question

The following code has an error, System. Exception: "The data is invalid. The specified report type is not present. What is the reason?

Error statement：

var outputReport = hiddevice.CreateOutputReport(0);

The handle was opened, but the output report could not be created. My handle report descriptor did not output the report. Is that why? If this is the reason, how can I write data on the game handle?

//HIDConfigura.cs
namespace HIDGamepade
{
    class HIDConfigura
    {
        public class Xbox360//360xbox
        {
            public class Device
            {
                public const UInt16 Vid = 0x045E;

                public const UInt16 UsagePage = 0x01;
                public const UInt16 UsageId = 0x05;
            }
}

Answer

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

I've got the response from the Xbox Team about this.

How to use the UWP api to upgrade the firmware of the game handle?

This is not possible in UWP app. First of all, Windows.Devices.HumanInterfaceDevices API of UWP are not supported on Xbox devices - UWP features not supported on Xbox. These APIs are only supported on PC.

Second, the correct way to communicate with devices supported on Xbox is using the Game Input Protocol. To use the Game Input Protocol, you will need to join the Xbox Partner Hardware / Designed for Xbox program. Then you could be a licensed partners who sign Xbox PDK/NDA agreements. Here is the link for Designed for Xbox program: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/designed-for-xbox?xr=shellnav

Thank you.
